Does anyone have a favourite cookbook/recipe book (or two) that they'd like to share (provide a link if you can)? What do you like about it? What are your favourite recipes from it? It doesn't matter if it's old or out-of-print -- let's all spread the love of good food!!
Two of mine:
The Essential Vegetarian Cookbook -- it has some simply amazing recipes, even a non-vege would like them (with the possible exception of willything ). There are still reprints of this book kicking around, I got mine a couple of years ago new. *edit* I've posted one recipe from this book already, and I've got another in mind I'll be posting shortly.
Cookery The Australian Way -- this is the recipe book we used in Home Economics at school, and mum's got a copy in her cupboard too. I managed to pick up one for myself at a second-hand shop a few years ago (after a long search). They must have reprinted it, cause it's back in the stores again I've just now discovered. It has some really old "stuff your mother/grandmother used to make" kind of recipes...really old fashioned. This is the book I use when I'm 'baking', as opposed to doing main meals - desserts and things like scones and cookies are the most-used recipes for me. Mmmm...golden syrup dumplings... *drools*
So, who's next?
