Read official rules here.
Betty Crocker cookbook my mom bought me as a kid. Still, the best go to book around. Complete and descriptive.
Right now I love Scoop by David Lebovitz so good
Good luck with your book! I love Alton Brown’s cookbooks – my favorite being I’m Just Here For the Food.
my favorite cookbook right now is probably “What’s up Cupcake?” or “Hello Cupcake!”…..I think my new favorite one soon will either be “The Cupcake Diaries- by the owners of Georgetown Cupcake” or yours!
Rachael Ray’s 30 minute meals. It’s so simple, and you have no idea from first reading it what a food star she is going to turn out to be!
Hmm… that is a tough one! I can’t narrow it down but anything dessert themed by Martha Stewart.
I liked you on facebook too!
My church cookbook. Full of recipes submitted by my church family! Fantastic food from fabulous friends who share my faith! Doesn’t get any better than that. Well, except for sharing the food with them!
I love my “Greek Traditions” cookbook! I don’t have any natural instincts when cooking Greek, and my husband just wants his childhood foods, so it is one of the only times I really try to follow every step. It is stained and dog-eared!
[WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us ’0 which is not a hashcash value.
I retweeted!
I LOVE you on facebook!
Baking From My Home To Yours by Dorie Greenspan
Cupcake cookbook – can’t actually remember the title, but I loved reading it.
Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking CLASSIC!!
I LOVE the Taste of Home magazines/cookbooks. Every time I get a new one in the mail I have like 30 new recipes I have to try immediately!

My favorite cookbook is William Sonoma’s Bride and Groom one.
I like you on Facebook!
I also just “liked” you on facebook. Thanks!
The Taste of Home cookbooks/magazines. I can’t help but cook like 1/2 of the recipes from it…love love love it!
I’d have to say The Pioneer Woman Cooks. So many scrumptious recipes! Thanks!
I like iambaker on facebook!
Sometimes the best cookbooks are those old Lutheran/Catholic church cookbooks. I actually don’t use too many cookcooks; I just google. But I would have to say my favorite is the one my husband’s aunt made me as a bridal shower gift – all her family’s favorite recipes. Her homemade chicken pot pie is to die for!
My favorite cookbook is the Better Homes New Cook Book that was my mothers. I would love to read your book!!
My favorite cook book is probably my Pioneer Woman one. I just love her…and even when I’m not looking for something to cook, sometimes I just flip through for the pictures. Can’t wait for YOUR book, Amanda! I know it will be lovely and bright!
My favorite cookbook is actually my church’s cookbook. Straightforward, simple, ingredients already in pantry kind of recipes.
I also follow you on facebook.
You are amazing and CONGRATS on the book! So exciting! I am loving the new Momofuku MILK cookbook, lots of wacky recipes in that. I also taught myself to bake using the Martha Stewart baking handbook. Books are so important in the development of one’s baking self… so glad to hear you’ll be joining the ranks of the teachers.
Best,
Lyndsay
For the longest time I only owned the Better Homes New Cook Book, and I don’t use it much! I tend to print out recipes from the internet and put them in a recipe book my Mom gave me.
My mom, sisters, brother, and I used a company online to combine all our recipes that we use, to make a professional looking cookbook. We added pictures and personal stories about the recipes. That is by far my favorite cookbook
My favorite cookbook is the Better Homes and Gardens from 1979 (the year I was born) that my Mom gave me when I got married. No pictures, but some of the greatest recipes and my go to for new stuff when the internet runs dry.
The Church Ladies cookbook.
My favorite cookbook has always been “The Settlement Cookbook” that my aunt gave me for my wedding. I pretty much learned to cook from that, so don’t use it much anymore, but still love it!
I “like” you on FB.
I actually don’t have a “favorite” cookbook. I love cookbooks with mouth-watering pictures. [Does that make me shallow??] Haha. I don’t often use a recipe from a book, I just salivate over the images. Most of the recipes I use have been passed on by friends or family…or found here or on other sites on the internet.
I also like I Am Baker on facebook.
My favorite cookbook is Essentials of Baking from Williams-Sonoma. I got it as a gift from my boyfriend who loves my cooking (even when they don’t come out so right haha) and it was a very encouraging present for a baker newb like me. The book is very detailed out for beginners and the pictures are absolutely beautiful.
I LIKED ya on facebook
The Pioneer Woman Cooks. My husband LOVES to cook out of this book, which means I don’t have to cook! Win/Win!
Anything by Jamie Oliver – he has such passion for what he’s making and it shows in every recipe.
I love america’s test kitchen cook books!
i like you on fb
I would love to win! I am so “outdated” as it comes to technology so this would help me join the social network age. I love all types of cookbooks and am looking for a website that I can put in all my many recipes and then be able to download them. I need to get rid of all the paper recipes…..
my favorite cookbook is one that our community school put together by compiling everyone’s best recipes that they submitted. Really has some great stuff in there!
I have an Ina Garten cookbook that I just love. I also love all the sweet cupcake and yummy dessert cookbook collections out there.
Hard choices! Probably my mom’s old Betty Crocker. The pages are falling out of it, but it is full of recipies I was raised on and love!
My current most used cookbook is Dorie Greenspan’s Around My French Table. Just fabulous!
My favorite cookbook is The New Celebrity Cookbook. I think it’s from the early 70s or late 60s. It’s got super old recipes from old stars, Doris Day, Phyllis Diller, Gregory Peck, Frank Sinatra, and on and on. I love looking at old recipes.
I liked you on Facebook!
I forgot to say good luck with your book!!!
One of my favorite Cook books is my Perfect Pairings book. Part cookbook, part wine knowledge and a whole lot of yummy food and wine pairing suggestions.
My favorite cookbook is probably the Sonoma diet book- the recipes are full of flavor instead of guilt! Usually though, I’m on allrecipes.com when I need a recipe for something.
I liked you on Facebook too!
My favorite cookbook is What’s New, cupcake?
My favorite cookbook is the big BHG New Cook Book because it has a little of everything in it!
I like you on Facebook!
I have been using my battered Joy of Cooking a lot recently
The Joy of Cooking, a true classic!
Does the entire internet count as a cookbook? I’ll pick that one if it does.
I love my annual Taste of Home cookbooks
Currently I have been using the Eat this not that cookbook… you know trying to lose a few and yet now all I’m thinking about is brownie cake
oh and I liked you on FB
I just “liked” you on Facebook!!
My current favorite cookbook is The Complete America’s Test Kitchen TV Show Cookbook. LOVE that show. I think it’s the engineering in me that loves the fact that they really put things thru the paces to try to determine the BEST recipe and explain why this didn’t work or why that works best. Fun times!
I use my Better Homes & Gardens New Cookbook the most.
I like you on facebook! :0)

My favorite cook book is an unnamed cook book, with a red and white picnic table cloth print cover. The book has been in my mom’s kitchen forever. It has pages stained, written on, and torn out. Sure we could replace it, I mean really… it does not even have any pictures, but it would not be the same.
The Joy of Cooking. So good!
I’m a Facebook Liker!!
I have been hinting for one of these since my birthday. I think the kindle, nook, tablet reader phenomenon would be great for all those inexpensive cook books you really don’t need to own but want – 1001 cupcakes anyone? Or the novels that you would normally read once then donate. Less clutter around my house would be an amazing thing.
Ah! I wasn’t done typing! lol. I was continuing to say that your whole site design project came together beautifully and looks perfect! Congratulations!!!
I really like most of the Pampered Chef cookbooks. I love that they have lots of pictures!
