	candymandy Member (1002posts) 10/25/2006 2:16:00 PM There's a recipe from LoonySpoons (a healthy-eating cookbook) for chocoalte chip muffins . . . they're soooo effing good! When I went away for a summer to Banff Centre for the Arts, my mum greyhounded me 2 dozen of them, that's how tasty they are! And low fat/calorie! (the rest of the cookbook is just mediocre)
	KungPow Raver (23496posts) 10/25/2006 2:20:00 PM for some reason I'm not a big cookbook person. I have accumulated lots of recipes along the way and have them complied in two binders and a cardbox. But I guess my favourite cookbook would be my battered and tattered old copy of "Joy of Cooking", mainly for sentimental reasons. It was my mother's and we always baked together using it, when I "spread my wings" and moved out on my own, she gave it to me.
	nkbutterfly Member (132posts) 10/25/2006 3:32:00 PM The best cook book ever to answer really simple questions about cooking is the Betty Crocker cook book that comes in three ring binder form! As for recipies, the best cook books are usually the ones that schools make & sell or ones that are put together by associations etc b/c they usually have homemade recipies!
	Spiderwoman Member (54106posts) 11/1/2006 12:00:00 AM I really like my Wild Rose detox cookbook.
	Sapphire_sky Member (6818posts) 11/1/2006 12:21:00 AM I've got my moms habit of buying cookbooks, but I rarely use them. My fav cookbook is Everyday Italian by Giada DeLaurentis. I really like the pesto recipe from it, and I love the Spicy Chicken recipe of hers, but it' not in that book. My mom is a very good cook, and a home-ec teacher. She's got a very extensive cookbook collection that is probably close to 300 of them. Most recently she has bought ALL (about 25) of the Williams-Sonoma cookbooks, and hasn't even used one of them.

	KarmAttack Member (5150posts) 11/3/2006 2:46:00 AM I have some great cookbooks, one is called The Essential Asian Cookbook and has tons of recipes. I have a few German-language ones as well, from Swiss to Meditteranean to Arabian cooking. I actually get a lot of great recipes from the Internet too!
	twiztedsista Member (15159posts) 11/3/2006 10:04:00 AM I want a cookbook that features Japanese Home Cooking. Any recommendations?
	MrsPimpette Member (488posts) 11/3/2006 10:27:00 AM I always love my "the best of bridge" If you are lookign for something new my girlfriend works at Barbra Jo's CookBooks (Granville) and she has some amazing books from that store.
	Caffy Nightlife Industry (17064posts) 11/3/2006 10:33:00 AM ^ this is a cute website http://www.nsknet.or.jp/~tomi-yasu/index_e.html but I dunno who that person is.. haha I'll find u the name of this really famous Japanese Martha Stewart.. She's the queen of japanese home cooking...I can't think of her name.
	Caffy Nightlife Industry (17064posts) 11/3/2006 10:35:00 AM OK I remember her name is Harumi Kurihara and this is her book
	twiztedsista Member (15159posts) 11/3/2006 11:08:00 AM Thanks Caffy!
	Caffy Nightlife Industry (17064posts) 11/3/2006 12:41:00 PM this one is kinda decent too...but nothing in English that is printed is really that authentic. Japanese home cooking is very different... then restaurant food.
	Caffy Nightlife Industry (17064posts) 11/3/2006 12:46:00 PM The new Prochef came out! 8th edition... with the copper cover and of course i can't do anything without

	Shango DJ/Artist (6358posts) 11/3/2006 4:35:00 PM Vij's just came out with a cookbook that will be really hot this Christmas... It is already a best seller.
	twiztedsista Member (15159posts) 11/3/2006 5:30:00 PM ^ I have already put that on my list to get for my mom.
	kcirtaP Member (32788posts) 11/3/2006 5:45:00 PM Not enough women can cook. Big up to the ladies that do and can.
	wolfchick Moderator (45826posts) 11/4/2006 8:39:00 AM Vikram's book is great! ^^ If you're sticking with local, add Christian's book from the Tomato: http://dynamic.images.ind...mp;quality=85&lang=en
