A fact finding mission

[spikesgirl58]

What is the name of your favorite cookbook(s)? Why do you prefer it over others? If you don't cook from one, is that a favorite in your past, one that encouraged you to try your cooking wings, as it were.

Is there cookbook that you would never prepare a recipe from, but you keep it anyhow?

I have a few cookbooks my grandma gave me, but mostly I don't use them. If I need a recipe, I look around on the Internet and try to find something that approximates what I want to make. Often I'll find several versions of a recipe and try to triangulate the common factors. Sometimes I'll look at the SomethingAwful Goons with Spoons forum for recipe ideas. I do have one absinthe book that I want to try out once I find a decent cheap absinthe...

That's a crazy site! I might have to join just because!

Thanks!

I have absinthe! It's all cheap knock-off stuff in the states. What can I make? :)

Apparently it goes good with pineapple and morally irrelevant decadence...

Okay, now I -really- need to see this cookbook of yours! LOL
