| Artiasn Bread is the best! Love it. Bought a copy for my son and wife and they love it too. They make the preztels all the time but have modified it somewhat according to an Alton Brown show about making pretzel. My son is an chemicla engineer but loves to cook and loves Alton Brown because as we all say he is a "science geek" just like him. My other favorite cookbooks are a williams sonoma series snow counrty cooking, cabin cooking, etc. And I do have to agree Fine cooking is awesome and so is Cooks Country and Cooks Illustrated (love to read the articles about how the recipe comes about).

I'm a no frills get it cooked & on the table kind of cook but the only 2 cookbooks I ever use are by a "local" woman Cooking Downeast & More Cooking Downeast by Marjorie Standish (I don't know too many Maine women that don't have copies of these in thier kitchen) The only other 2 recipes I use are one that I got from my sister (I have no idea where she got it) for a hamburg dish made in custard cups using Pillsbury biscuit dough & the other I got online at the Kraft Kitchen website for a meatloaf that when I make that I make a bunch and freeze some.
Lord keep you arm around my shoulder & your hand over my mouth If God brings you to it, He will see you through it 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.'

| I love the 50's and 60's Good Housekeeping and Betty Crocker ones. I also like the Taste of Home magazines annuals, the Quick Cooking ones are the best for me. I collect church and ladies club cookbooks too. Oh, and the Pillsbury Bake Off cookbooks. I have one my mom gave me that is called the Heritage Cookbook which is a great read and has interesting recipes from all over the world. McCall's had a neat series of cookbooklets, I have the full set from the 60's but you can get them on ebay from then thru now. I like the Practically Cookless one best. I think it is neat the way older cookbooks not only talk about recipes but also teach about stocking a kitchen, how to hostess, cooking ahead, and how to be a "good" wife and hostess. It is a look into the way things were.
