Food and Drink Favorite cookbooks

**Fire Me Boy!** · 08:31 AM

I'm a cookbook fiend. I don't think I can ever have enough. and I read them like novels. I read recipes I never intend to cook, recipes I wouldn't even enjoy. I read way more cookbooks than novels.

Anyway, the wife and I are cleaning upstairs before some family come to visit, and the wife wants to get rid of some. Well, we can get rid of some. They can't all be winners.

I don't know if this is my favorite, but it holds some sentimental value. This was my first one, purchased in 1986 or 1987 from a traveling encyclopedia salesman. I was 8 or 9 years old and I convinced my mom to buy it for me. I even remember a couple recipes I cooked from it - one of the spaghetti sauce recipes, which was the first thing I made from it; the grilled Cornish game hens I made for my parents' wedding anniversary when I was 10.

It's like a reunion with an old friend.
