Very cool! I just find this fascinating. I will be looking for these in the future-also the little "hidden gems" that DD mentioned. I have some good ones like that too -like The Mississippi Cookbook from my grandmother with excellent recipes and suggestions/reminders in all of the endnotes. One of my treasured possessions.

Tootsie got me thinking about Cooks Illustrated. So I was wondering, what are your favorite cookbooks, and are there any particular winners in those cookbooks?

One selection from my library: The Moosewood Cookbook Cooks from Home
I love to make the Sweet Potato Salad (steamed, on greens - very original recipe) for get-togethers with my girlfriends. Of course, I make it with Annie's Naturals "Goddess Dressing!"

recipe goddesgal? great thread!

Goddess Sweet Potato Salad

2 large sweet potatoes (peeled, cut into 1/4 inch cubes, about 3 cups)
1 cup diced celery
1 cup diced red bell peppers
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 scallion, thinly sliced
Annie's Naturals Goddess Dressing

salad greens - whatever mix you like

Steam the sweet potato cubes for 6-8 minutes, until just tender. Take care not to overcook them. Place the diced celery and red peppers in a bowl, and add the steamed potatoes. Stir gently and add Annie's Naturals Goddess Dressing, salt and pepper to taste. When that has cooled somewhat, toss in the scallions and parsley.

Serve on salad greens. It is equally good on romaine, mixed baby greens, baby spinach, or whatever salad blend you like.

Enjoy!


P.S. If you don't have or don't like the Goddess Dressing, you can mix up a dressing with equal parts wine vinegar and dijon mustard and a good bit more olive oil; topping with a dollop of ricotta for fun.

It seems my favorites are the one's that are self published by my family (for reunions) or church's (like Mr. IBD's granny's from Enterprise, Al.) it seems that these contain many good homey type recipes.

A new cookbook that I do like is Ruby Slippers. >>>clicky<<<


Anyone know of a good Asian cookbook???:dunno:

Through These Gates: A Taste of Darlington
By: Darlington School Parents Assn.


Parents, faculty, alumni, board members and friends of Darlington School have all contributed favorite recipes in an attempt to raise funds for the school and to offer a unique collection of delectable cuisine in Darlington's first cookbook. This cookbook contains over 450 recipes from 16 states and 23 countries.

Our Darlington???

Even if not, that would still be pretty cool to have. I love to collect church cookbooks, and also I MUST have the Southern Living Cookbook each year. I have each one from 1990 forward, with the exception of 2003 & 2004. But I will get those.

Not that any of them do me any good. I just like to have them. :blush:

Bayou Cuisine...was given to me as a wedding gift (the 1st wedding, been several since)..it is old southern cooking..the mexican cornbread recipe is to die for. Have the 1981 Southern Living and love it! And...I started my own cookbook of family favorites of mine and other families as well as recipes I've stolen or discovered over the years. I put the recipes in a leather bound (leather is covered w/ plastic, easy to clean) photo albumn.

Seagrovegirl, I think I have the same one - Bayou Cuisine! It belonged to my grandmother. Is that the one with the nostalgic/historical photos in it? I will check my cabinet!

Johnrudy, love the cover on that cookbook - I'll bet it has some good stuff in there!
