My most beautiful cookbook:
'AUTUMN' by Susan Branch. It's illustrated with watercoloured pictures and has delcious recipes and decorating ideas for my favorite season, Autumn.

My most used cookbook:
'BEST OF BAKING' by Betty Crocker. This has everything you put in the oven! Lots of timeless recipes, and also recipes for baking with kids.

The cookbook I would give as a gift:
'JAMIE OLIVER AT HOME.' We all know how wonderful this cookbook is! I find it inspiring and down to earth. Love it!

The cookbook that will be passed down for generations:
'THE ESSENTIAL COOK BOOK' by Caroline Conran & Terence Conran. My mother gave me this book when I moved into my first apartment on my own. It taught me all the basics and really got me interested in cooking. I gave a copy to my little sister when she moved into her own place.

Other Favorites:
'THE ART OF SIMPLE COOKING' by Alice Waters
'MY OWN COOK BOOK' by Gladys Taber
'PICTURE COOK COOK' by Betty Crocker

I would say I nearly love all my cookbooks. I am a cookbook addict, I must admit. I will try hard on a summary...

I have to agree with Caroline B - I am an addict too when it comes to cookbooks (don't know why but there is something about them).

Amidst all of them I do still love my first cookbook that we were given in school - it's called Tip-Topf and it's really teaching you some of the basics...

Me too!!!
I buy cookbooks and read them how other people read novels!

my cook books are full of post-its on pages with recipes I want to try out...one time, my husband asked me how long I want to live, and I said, "Long enough that I can try out all these recipes!"

Same here! I bought a big IKEA shelf for the cookbooks only. I cannot throw one away...

I have about 7 feet of cookbooks...how can i choose?
