I have over 200 cookbooks. Don't really have a favorite. I pefer to use my Mastercook software to store recipes I have collected for the last 15 years. Most of which are from the recipelu and friendly freezer recipe lists.
I have my first cookbook...Better Homes and Gardens that I have had for over 30 years. I mostly use it for reference.
But in reality... I don't use any of them much because I don't cook very often. I'd rather be quilting!

I just got the Pioneer Woman by Ree Drummond. Good stories and recipes from a social butterfly who marries a cowboy with a working ranch. Four kids and many recipes. Her cinnamon rolls are to die for. Also Trisha Yearwood who married Garth Brooks has a great southern recipe book out that I use alot. Garth has a home not far from my daughter in Owasso Okla. They are always around doing good things for the town and schools.

The original Joy of Cooking. You can tell by the spots of sauce and such + notes on most of the pages ~ ~ ~ it was the only cookbook I took with me when I moved to Germany in 1968.
One of my German friends wanted it when I left - but I bought her a NEW one and mailed it to her, because mine was too dirty and had too many of my notes in it!
I do refer to my OLD Betty Crocker cookbook that was given to me when I worked for General Mills in 1961 - my first job after I grad from college - worked there for 6 months before I married DH. It's a good general info, plain cookin' cookbook.
DH uses both of them now that he does the cooking. He also likes Better Homes & Gardens - & he looks up recipes on the Internet. I'm sure I would, too, if I was still cooking!
