My favourites for reading are Elizabeth David - especially her Christmas cookbook, and Jane Grigson - what a treasure trove of information.

Last year for Christmas I went through all of them as well as our recipe box and picked out my husbands favorites. I entered them into word with a personal note about most of the recipes (like where it came from, any funny stories as we served a particular dish, etc.) and printed it out on scrapbook paper and put them into a scrapbook/photo album. It was my gift to my husband for Christmas. I would have to say we use that one almost every day!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12456091240901710538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995860150622335007.post-47619148571501792382009-09-01T00:05:30.893+02:002009-09-01T00:05:30.893+02:00are you kidding? hmmm. i have to go with anythin...are you kidding? hmmm. i have to go with anything ina garten. the contessa is fabulous.Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00021119421584199821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995860150622335007.post-65268157332709149982009-08-31T21:14:39.706+02:002009-08-31T21:14:39.706+02:00How to Eat Supper by Lynne Rosetto Kasper and Sall...How to Eat Supper by Lynne Rosetto Kasper and Sally Swift.

ME TOO! I love cookbooks. Right now Ina Garten is an easy "go-to" book but my fave is The Silver Palate Cookbook by Julee Rosso and Sheila Lukins. I've used it for 15 years.<br /><br />Did you read Julia Childs: My Life in French or see the movie "Julie & Julia" yet? The book is fabulous and the movie is pretty good.
