I strongly rely on the "James Beard Book of American Cookery"...Also the "Larousse Gastronomique" edited by Jennifer Harvey Lang...

I have a bunch, but tend to google instead. Look for stuff without eggs, butter, etc.

I've got tons of cook books, but the older I get the lazier I get, so I tend to Google any recipes I'm looking for.

If it is the same one I am thinking of, it has the best chicken cacciatore recipe I have come across to date. I still use that recipe and used it recently to cook for some guests. It went over wonderfully as always.

I am having company tomorrow and have made beouf bourguignon. It is best to make that a couple of days ahead so the flavors blend. This is a Julia Child recipe. When I want an Italian recipe I usually look up Chef Pasquale. You have got to check him out. He is hilarious.

I use the internet, more and more, for recipe/technique ideas. However, my solid "go tos," are: - The Joy of Cooking ('76), which is mine - The Joy of Cooking ('43), which was my Mom's - The Fannie Farmer Cookbook ('90), by Marian Cunningham - The "I Hate To Cook" Book ('60), by Peg Bracken. It was very popular in the late 60's, and early 70's. I think that may have been because of the "women's lib," movement. It has some very easy, and excellent recipes. That, too, was my Mom's. She did hate to cook, but she loved cookbooks, and cooking magazines. ************************ I have one cookbook, and one partial set of books, that I just love, although it's not often that consult them for recipes. However, if you have an interest in cookbooks, they are wonderful to have ... if only to browse through, from time to time. ( I checked Amazon, to see about current availability, and price. They're from the 60's, and the price has appreciated considerably. There is NO WAY that I, or anyone I knew, could have spent the money that they're worth now. Used bookstores, or E-bay might be an alternative.)The Horizon Cookbook, and Illustrated History of Eating and Drinking, Through the Ages ('68), published by Doubleday. The first half of the book is a beautifully illustrated narrative of the history of food and cooking. The second half is devoted to recipes ... updated, as well as possible ... of time-honored dishes and drinks. ($60.00 at Amazon, today.) - Foods of the World, published by (then) Time-Life, was a series of books, each devoted to the cuisine of a given country, region or period of time within that region. It was a subscription "cancel-at-any-time," purchase. Two volumes came with each edition. One was fully illustrated by photos, with narrative and recipes. A smaller, 9" X 6 1/2" spiral recipe book accompanied it. I kept the small spiral, recipe books. Of the I (I think) 24 volumes, I have 14. (Amazon has the FULL set at $550.00, which is outrageous.)

My go to cookbooks were always the "Taste of Home" cookbooks and my old "Country" and "Betty Crocker". I have dozens of them but finally quit buying them since I could find them in the library and copy recipes. Now, I tend to google recipes and don't use my cookbooks much anymore.

It is a cook book, how to cook humans. Actually I love cook books, I recently had to get rid of years and years of Taste of home , rather than try to sell them I offered them free and within 2 days they were all gone. I figured there were several thousand dollars worth, but I got a lot of enjoyment out of them. We needed the cupboard I had been using as my book case, it is now our linen closet. We bought a much smaller one and the cookbooks I still have fit nicely, and with a bit of space for more if I buy any more.
