I went to Borders Tuesday and was going to buy the BBQ Bible, but was disappointed that there were no pictures. So, I figured, I'd just come to you the next time I need a recipe. After all, you haven't steared me wrong yet. Thank you for all the choices. love,sly

Must have cookbooks

A repost for the New Year

My choices are:

1. The New Better Homes and Garden Cook Book. Covers pretty much EVERYTHING you would need to know about cooking basics. And has a wide variety of time tested, family favorite recipes, easy to follow instructions. Plenty of color pics too, so you know what it's supposed to look like! Bought this for all my girls...Oh, and get the binder edition, a couple of bucks more, but so much handier.

2.Practical Cooking: Pasta and Italian, by Paragon press.

Next, we Love to grill out. Even though he primarily does this, I can too. And lots of the recipes can be adapted for broiler use (that is one of the ways to use that 'oven' part of the 'stove' thingy....) or for one of those indoor grill thingies.

All of these grilling/bbq books are by the same author, Steve Raichlen, and cover how to cook using charcoal, and gas grills, from how to set them up, to Detailed step by step recipes.

3. My next must have, The Barbecue Bible. Over 500 recipes, from around the world. If a country grills, he will have a recipe from their. Has appetizer sections (which we often increase the amounts, and make main courses, like the Hong Kong chicken ), and chapters on beef, pork, chicken, sausages/ground meats, veggies, desserts, you name it.

4. BBQ USA. Same basic format as above, but all recipes are from grilling/bbq legendary spots in the states...

5. The Barbecue Bible's Sauces, Rubs,and Marinades, Bastes, Butters, and Glazes...THIS one can be used Just as well for Non grilling recipes. Must have for a well rounded kitchen. An amazing book.

6. Japanese Women Don't Get Old or Fat. Naomi Moriyama. Very good, easy to prepare, everyday Japanese recipes, the day to day fare, not the fancy stuff you see in resturants...
