GFY Chefs: What is your favorite cookbook?
 

I'm going to ebay me some cookbooks, what can you guys recommend?

I especially like Japanese, Thai, Malay, Mexican, Italian

Anything by Julia Child.

I was wondering this same thing earlier today as I was whipping up some Hamburger Helper, and was going to ask ASM.

Dude knows fucking everything.

Answer really depends on your cooking level and if you like to follow recipes or just like to read them for inspiration.

However if you really want a starting place for some of the best ones available hit http://www.cooksillustrated.com/bookstore/
All of them are fantastic and the hardbound magazine sets are killer.

Thanks tootsie.
:thumbsup

I wish. One thing I do know for certain is how much I do not know and how boundless that is.

Oh donkevlar since you mentioned Japanese look for Morimoto the new art of Japanese cooking. It is a monster sized book close to 300 pages if I remember (in the kitchen). Good to read, not super hard to follow, and his food does taste incredible.

A holistic nutritionist?

My girl, what else? LOL :pimp

Even if you think cooking is for women or whatever and your an ultra pimp who has them cook for you. Do you actually let them around say a grill or bbq?

healthy recipes

I am at a total beginner level at Asian cooking and just bought these two:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/188495667X
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/006093204X

Pretty happy with both books thus far.

I'm going to ignore your favoured cuisines on this recommendation :) http://www.amazon.com/Made-Spain-Spa...7102527&sr=1-5

wow are you serious, there are difference in cookbook publishers? just pick one!!! or shit buy a few...lol

Have you noticed how big Barnes and Noble is? Not all books are created equal.

No worries I love all kinds of food... I'll add Spanish, Vietnamese + Indian to my list.

I just turn to GFY when I'm looking for recipes. Trust me, I stand by my word, tis place may be full of idiots, but some of them know their fucking food. GFY always pulls through when it comes down to food...

I look up recipes online and try out the ones that get the best reviews from people who tried it.
