It's usually a good idea to check the sender to see if they are one time
posters. There were two surprises with that one. It was not cross posted
and not from a gmail account.

Joy of Cocking is a good one, famous but I would not say the best. I like
my "The Gourmet Cockbook" by Ruth Reichl. Another favoite of mine the the
Better Homes and Gardens Cockbook. And who can forget the first Julia Child
cockbook, "Mastering the Art of French Cocking?"

Not being interested in cocking, I couldn't say.

But if cooking is what you are looking for, I'd say it's one you
feel comfortable with. My choice probably would not be yours. Go
to a bookstore or library, leaf through a selection of books, take
some home and see what you fancy.

It's like the Vulcan mind meld...no one but the French are good at
French Cocking...what can I say...the Germans tried (1914-1918) but
as you probably know, there are no great books on German cocking.

The Joy of Cooking, absolutely. With 300+ cookbooks in front of me the Joy
of Cooking is still the first one I reach to. Number 2 is Julia Child's
"The Way To Cook" published in 1989. It's still in print.

No, but now I'm sleeping with Rosie Palm and her 5 daughters. ;-D
Most of my other girlfriends are the .jpg girls.
They are all hot and don't talk you to death after sex.

That would be a Miss Steak !!!

First of all it is not "Cockbook", it is "Cookbook". There is no specific book that is the best. There are many books that are good for any specific recipes. It really depends on the choice of the reader.

The Larousse is the reference for cooking questions. It's where you go when
you want to know something. While it has recipes they are very general and
you wouldn't follow them unless you yourself knew the primary recipe for the
dish. For me it's for suggestions based on classical cooking. It's
excellent. Though I don't use my two editions very often I'm very glad
they're in the bookshelf.

We have one. It's a very good book with all the basic American dishes. "Joy
of Cooking" is better.

Not just French cooking. The most important components of cooking written in
cookbooks are in French cookbooks. For us northern europeans the best dishes
are in French cookbooks.
