There are so many...but I am with Ramona. My very favorites are the ones I grew up with. The Women's Auxiliary Cookbook from the Grange my mom belonged to...the Herter's cookbook...the really, really old Betty Crocker, etc. They sooth my heart and soul when I need my mom and/or comfort food.

This is what I was going to say. I love my cookbooks, but honestly, if I'm looking for something new, I'll check allrecipes first. I love that you can read all the ratings/comments - nice to know that you're trying a tried & true recipe before all that work! And I've gotten some incredible recipes this way.

I have a Betty Crocker that I paid a quarter for 33 years ago at a church yard sale. It was OLD then. I also have some of the Southern Living books. They are wonderful, choices from simple to very elegant multi-course dinners, to party drinks and food.

I do have a Better Homes and Garden cookbook from 1946. I like it although I haven't used anything out of it yet. I would like to find a copy from during the war and one from before the war.

::shrug:: I just like the older cookbooks. :)

I love cookbooks. I have tons of Food Network ones, and I love my Weight Watchers book.

When my DH and I were in Boston this summer I got an awesome book of New England recipes.

my favorites though are from my grandmother and Great Grandmother

I have lots of cookbooks, but the ones I use on a regular basis are my Taste of Home books and one our church put together almost 30 years ago. I have used the church cookbook so much that it is stained and held together with 2 rubber bands.

Cookbooks are another of my addictions :-) Calling All Cooks the yellow one and Taste of Home are my favs. Calling All Cooks has the best recipes, the cover is off and lots of splatters. I've never come across a bad recipe. I found one of my staple recipes in it .... White sauce- what you put on smoked meat, YUM! Oh, and church and Home Ec. cookbooks,also.
