Default What are your favorite cookbooks? "The Joy of Cooking", "The Way to Cook"?

Ditto & Ditto! I consider JoC to be the "bible" of my kitchen. I even
gave my college kid the new edition of the JoC when he went to live on
his own. I have the 1975 copy, but I also had to buy another new
edition (along with son's) to have for one of my own <g>.
