My current Big Three a Joy of Cooking, James Beard's American
Cookery and Cook's Illustrated The Best Recipe. My fallbacks are
Fannie Farmer and Good Housekeeping Illustrated. I use The Way to Cook
for technique, primarily. I also surf recipes and swipe a few from the
ng. Cooking resources on the 'Net are awesome.
