If you could only cook recipes from one cookbook ever again, which cookbook would you choose?

I'd have to say mine is 30 minute meals by Rachael Ray.If you could only cook recipes from one cookbook ever again, which cookbook would you choose?
Rachael Ray is a smoking hottie!!! I love her show and books!If you could only cook recipes from one cookbook ever again, which cookbook would you choose?
Campbells cook book, its a good easy, cheating, fast recipe cook book. Plus all of the recipes are awesome!





I hate cooking so I try to find the easiest, healthiest way to get by. Without heating something in the mircowave or getting take out.





Toodles!
Does the Internet count? I sure hope so; I'd hate to give up my books, but if I had to choose beween Internet and books, I'd keep my online access. You can Goodsearch for any recipe or any book, and read blogs for ideas. You can also look for coupons, for ingredients, that you can print.





I've got to look up the easy curry recipe that was in the newspaper last week!!





(I'm really pushing Goodsearch - it's powered by Yahoo!, and you give money to your favorite charities every time you search.)





IF I had to choose, I'll second ';the Joy of Cooking'; which I've been using for as long as I've been cooking (but I'd phone friends for recipes, too)
Betty Crocker's COOKBOOK, Golden Press, copyright 1969
my mom's ';master'; cookbook. She collects cookbooks, cooking magazines, and every little recipe card she can find. All the recipes that she has tried and that have proven to be good are put in the cookbook. she writes little notes about each one and comments if she thinks the recipe needs something added or changed. It also has all of my grandma's and great-gma's recipes they used to make in it. She can tell exactly what page is waht recipe by the stains on them. It's used well. She jokes that one day i'm going to inherit all of her old cookbooks but I don't care, she's got everyone ever made!





If I had to pick one off a shelf it would be Betty crocker probably.
I would have to cook from a classic-





Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook





My grandmother and mother used it and gave me one for a wedding gift many years ago.
The Joy of Cooking. Commonly referred to in my family simply the Joy because we use it or research recipies there first almost daily.
With an international family. There is a cookbook that is passed down through the generations with recipes from those that are German, PuertoRican, Hawaiin, Egyptian, Japanese, Chinese, American and a host of others. This is the cookbook that I would keep and use always and the one that I will be passing on to subsequent generations. Everyone in my family loves to cook and take time with all preperations and meals. We don't really enjoy meals that are shortcut to death on technique and flavor. You might as well eat out or drive-thru it takes just as much time.
My Pillsbury Family Cookbook 1979. Mine is falling apart from so much use and I had to find one on e-bay for my daughter when she got married.
Skinny Cooks Can't Be Trusted by Monique.
The Joy of Cooking. GREAT cookbook! It has everything and it's huge. It's old, but it's still a staple in my household.

My first response is the same, 30 minute meals by RR, but then when you really need to know how to cook anything, I have to go to good old Betty Crocker. It tells you how to do everything including baking. RR doesn't bake and in a pinch, knowing how to make bread from scratch can come in very, very handy. BC takes you through how to chop veggies to roasting a turkey. All of those skills are important.
