I keep going back to my old Joy of Cooking books, particularly the one from 1953.
My dog eared copies of Mastering the Art of French Cooking is also close to hand.,

I use the Betty Crocker book way more than the Better Homes one. Maybe because I got used to it, but it's easier to find stuff. I almost never pull out the Better homes, and yet Betty was out just this morning.

My favorite is The Good Houskeeping Cookbook an aunt gave my mother as a wedding present, copyright 1949. The recipes are a bit dated and notably pork is different from what was available in those days. But the recipes are foolproof if you can follow directions at all and are a great basis for "modernizing" recipes to your tastes. Never had a failure even with something new to me, in spite of minor screw-ups.

I was reading that today! It's very entertaining to read the sources in the back. The best one? "The American Frugal Housewife, Dedicated to Those Who are not Afraid of Economy." by Mrs. Lydia Maria Child

"The American Frugal Housewife, Dedicated to Those Who are not Afraid of Economy." by Mrs. Lydia Maria Child I just had to "Amazon" that book. You can still get it and it is still cheap (sorry for the pun). Cost is $US 9.99 and is HERE, from Amazon ![[Linked Image]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51lk9ycO3CL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA300_SH20_OU01_.jpg) John

My two that I can't live without, but I have many... This one, and other Southern Living cookbooks for the finest traditional southern recipes... ![[Linked Image]](http://s10.thisnext.com/media/largest_dimension/146EE809.jpg) And this one is more a "how to" on technique... ![[Linked Image]](http://collectivekitchen.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/how-to-cook-everything.jpg)

I gotta use a cook book for baking stuff (cakes, bread and such) and more or less use other cook books for "ideas" for real food. Been using the BH&G we got as a wedding present 35+ years ago as well as the "More With Less Cookbook", also a wedding present.
Someday I hope to be the person my dogs think I am . . .

Same here. I'll find something new in a cookbook and prepare as directed for a solid baseline. Then gradually (that's the key) make changes so I like it better. I'm not much of a baker so I pretty much stick with those recipes.

I'm not much of a baker so I pretty much stick with those recipes. Cookbooks are a guideline for measurements and flavor profiles from which to make personal adjustments.

Yup! I find the only time I really need cookbooks these days is for baking. I also hold most all the CIA textbooks, which are great for the basics.
