Or (like me), do you use pages torn from magazines?

'The Joy Of Cooking' is a very nice cookbook.
'The Settlement Cookbook' is even more of a classic, a book written early in the 20th Century. They tell you how to build a fire to roast beef in, how to butcher a hog and make soap, how to use ice for refrigeration. All the basics one would need to do 100 years ago or if one was creating a kitchen from scratch.
There a many good books relating to cooking, but 'The Settlement Cookbook' makes for better reading!

Hello:
I have been cooking ever since I was about 10 years old,and I have always loved the,"Better Homes and Garden,"cookbooks the best because even a beginning cook can understand and cook the dishes that are in that book. Other cookbooks tend to use cooking terms that only an experienced cook would know and understand. I still have my mom's Better Homes and Garden cookbook that she got as a wedding gift in 1971,and I still cook alot of the dishes that are in that cookbook because it is really good comfort foods!

Try "The New Best Recipe" cookbook from Cooks Illustrated

Besides pulling recipes from lots of places like you do, I often refer to my Better Homes & Garden cookbook as well as Joy of Cooking.

I really like the Joy of Cooking book. It has tons of easy to follow recipes for any kind of food you would want to prepare. I mostly use it for baking desserts and such, but it has recipes for all meals.
