Here you go...my favorite cookbooks.
- Happy in the Kitchen, Michel Richard (mine's signed...*swoon*)
- Better Homes & Gardens New Cookbook
- Barefoot Contessa Family Style, Ina Garten
- Chesapeake Bay Cooking, John Shields
- Tide & Thyme, Annapolis Junior League
- Barefoot Contessa Parties, Ina Garten
- Cooking Light Complete Cookbook
- The Congressional Club Cookbook
- Weight Watchers New Complete Recipes (seriously...yummy!)
- Honest Pretzels, Mollie Katzen
I want to get a copy of Home Cooking with a French Accent by Michel Richard, but it's out of print and kind of hard to find one that's not beaten to bits. And Roland Mesnier has a book out I'd love, called Dessert University.
My favorite websites for recipes...
- allrecipes.com
- cookinglight.com (but I hate hate HATE the new search engine)
- foodtv.com
- cooks.com
I also subscribe to a few cooking magazines--Gourmet, Bon Appetit, and Cooking Light, along with Real Simple, which has some good stuff in it. I used to subscribe to Every Day with Rachael Ray, but I'm kind of over her. In fact, I'm sick of her. Go 'way, Perkyhead.
The thing is, I very rarely cook a recipe as it's written anymore. I'm starting to know what an ingredient will do to a recipe and what I can add in or leave out, and I tinker and play as I go. Which is way fun. :)
So there you have it.

thank you very much! That is awesome. Now i have something fun to research and browse! I have already put the Michel Richard "Happy in the kitchen" book and the John Shields one on hold at the library. Cookbooks and recipes are some of the other things I am obsessed with in addition to regular books.
