Pam Anderson (not Pamela Anderson, the actor!!) has several cook books that I enjoy. One is called How to cook without a book. Others include Perfect Recipes for having people over, Cook Smart, one about cooking to lose weight. I believe there is a new one coming about one dish meals. Also, there is a blog by "pioneer woman" that is great. She has a book out now.

My favorite cookbook, is the ugly orange Betty Crocker that came out in the 1970's. All the recipes are good, and old fashioned enough to leave me room to invent! I learned to use spices from the flyleafs (It that a word?) inside covers. When I got my first apartment I had to eat soup and Top-ramen because that was all I could cook! Now, I have meals that I am famous for. Chicken fried steak anyone?

I agree with you! They are some of the best in the country. I love finding older cookbooks in Antique Shops.

When my oldest son, born 1985, wanted to read every night before bed, the Cookie Book was always in the pile. We'd just sit and point to the different pictures of the cookies, and say their names. It was a Better Homes and Gardens Cookie Book, that I got form my husband's Grandma when she died, it was published around 1960 or so. It's packed away now, to be given when HE has a child
