Default Re: Cookbook Review Thread

I've mostly stopped using cookbooks, because the internet is just a more functional resource.

Practically speaking this is my line also. [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Epicurious. But find it handy to have cookbooks lying around that are:

1) Great primers / basics (I like Joy of Cooking alot too)
2) Cuisine specific (for Korean, highly recommend Korean Mother's Cooking Notes)
3) "Genre" specific - (that turnip rec for breakfast foods looks awesome, just ordered it on Amazon, I also have Nancy Silverton's Sandwich Book, good stuff)
4) Celebrity chef aimed at home cooking can sometimes be good (has anyone read this - Charlie Trotter Cooks At Home?) - the Silverton book kind of falls in this category - nice to have around to make a more advanced dish which I occasionally do
