Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation my old stand by... .... trusty cook book!

People think that it a spoof cookbook from the cover and title, but it's a good one.

Very true. I've given it as a gift on more than a few occasions, and it is almost always seen as a gag gift, until people start looking through it (and using the recipes)..

It's a great guide to good old, down home cooking, a knowlege that has increasingly been lost as society becomes more urban.

Seems like this has been a major "go to" cook book of mine for close to a quarter century. At least twenty years.

Yep... got & use that one + the "Beard On Pasta" cookbook
+ the Joy of Cooking
+ a very old, raggedy, falling-apart Good Housekeeping Cookbook
+ 3 of Craig Claiborne's cookbooks (including "The New 'New York Times Cookbook' with Pierre Franey")
+ Pierre Franey's "The New York Times 60-Minute Gourmet with an introduction by Craig Claiborne", (his cooking buddy)
+ Julia Child's "The French Chef" cookbook
+ 3 of Jane & Michael Stern's cookbooks
+ 3 of Jeff Smith's (The Frugal Gourmet) cookbooks (a truly sad story there)
+ about 80 or so other cookbooks which I use from time-to-time to get fresh ideas or cross-check recipes.

But one of most used cookbooks on my completely-suffed-full 4� foot long book shelf exclusively dedicated for COOKBOOKS ONLY is Jacqueline H�riteau's "A FEAST OF SOUPS" cookbook because I absolutely AM a "soup person". If you are a "soup person", too... then this COOKBOOK is a "MUST HAVE" for you!!! It is well-written, easy to understand and just full of wonderful soup recipes.

Yes, I freely admit... I'm a "Cookbook JUNKIE"!


We must ALL be alike... look at top of The Real Hawkeye's Julia Child's "The Way To Cook" cookbook" (the post immediately above this one). Do we ALL stuff little torn-off pieces of paper in our cookbooks which we use as "book-marks"? Most of my cookbooks look as if they're GROWING little slivers of paper out the tops of their pages!

I'm a cookbook junkie too. I have dozens.

The whole "White Trash" Series...

Typical Auburn fan...

You don't need a cookbook, Sam, you need a cooking class...LOL

hell, I teach cooking classes!

I went over to the book shelf and counted the 'library'. Current count is 129 cookbooks.

Didn't say you had to be the student...LOL

You might have a problem.
