Name of the cook book you can't live without?

A Taste Of Oregon.

The Joy of Cooking by Rombauer, Becker and Becker. The first addition was published 75 years ago.. I have the 2006. 1975 and the original edition. It has ALL the basics you can imagine from different levels of boiled eggs to making a standing rib roast to everything in-between from traditional to contemporary. It's a great cookbook that I refer to often usually for basics but it offers much more. I recommend it to all no matter what your cooking level is! I love ethnic cuisines and this book has a the basics but I don't use it for that. I refer to it all the time for basic but time tested cooking techniques.

Out of the nest,into the Frying Pan by Eileen Lafferty.

I got this from my mom in the 80s and it made me realize how easy it is to make great meals without stress,cooking should always be a joy..

I would have to say the cook book I cant live without is the internet!

I have loads of books but the internet just has it all, I usually take the recipes and modify to suit me..

The Moosewood Cookbook

julia child, any of her books are must haves. The second is ada boni, and Maida Heater, The third books I recommend are barefoot contessa and Bobbie Flay's. All of these are must haves if you are a serious cook. Ada Boni is the classic Italian cookbook, Maida Heater is for Chocolate or baking. Excellent.

As a general all around cookbook, I'd say I use James Beard's American Cookery. His recipes are simple and to the point. He took the time to explain every small detail. The man was a genius.
