Cookbook to end all cookbooks?!
Cookbook to end all cookbooks?
I'm looking to find a really good cookbook. In twos years, I go to college, and I'm most likely getting kicked out of the house. Does anyone know a cookbook that has everything (or most everything) that I'll need? I'm taking along some recipes from my Grandma to supplement said cookbook.
Answers:
I'm going to have to say Joy of Cooking. All other cookbooks are optional. Joy of Cooking is mandatory.
Betty Crocker cookbook has it all ! Luck to you on college !!
Now with the internet you really don't need a cookbook! Go to www.allrecipes.com they have everything there!
The Joy of Cooking covers it all.
The Must have cookbook is the Joy of Cooking.
Good Housekeeping or Betty Crocker are good. but use the net too. LOTS more there than any cookBOOK.

Like some others pointed out, with the internet you don't really need a cookbook, but I use mine in the kitchen all the time. I would suggest for your first book, get Rachel Ray's "Meals for 2, 4, 6" This way you can manage portions if you want to practice on your friends. The next one I would get ( you'll get more, after 1 you'll be hooked) would be a good southern style cooking or grilling. There is also one call "A man, a can & a grill" I think - it would be good as well........Good luck at school!!
It really depends on where you are from ,something that sounds good to me might not be good to you. Paula the southern version of Betty Crocker has some great easy to follow recipes.
Amen on the Joy of Cooking...the Bible of cookbooks
