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.

Great service organization cookbook. I've depended on it for all 26 years of marriage.

I collect Junior League cookbooks from all over, and (well, it's called the Utility Club, but I think it's pretty close) this it the best one ever.
A bunch of my cookbooks were under a window that leaked wind driven rain during Katrina, and the Stuffed Griffin among others had some nasty looking mold. I was so upset. I went through them all and chose to salvage just three -- The Stuffed Griffin, The River Cafe (where Jamie Oliver worked and copied most of his recipes from...if you like the Naked Chef, order the gorgeous River Cafe books.... http://www.amazon.com/River-Cafe-Co...bs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1208143986&sr=8-1)
and Talk About Good! it's basically the Cajun Bible. Given that I had to Clorox, wipe down with alcohol, leave in the sun, and iron these cookbooks, trust me when I say they are staples in a good kitchen.
My favorite cookbook right now is Susan Spicer's Crescent City Cooking http://www.amazon.com/Crescent-City...bs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1208144222&sr=1-1 I can't even begin to tell you how good this book is. Susan Spicer's restaurant, Bayona, is one of my two favorites in New Orleans. Her food is rich without being heavy. It's just really fresh and flavorful. The crazy thing is, the cookbook shows that the food is pretty simple, too. It's just that she uses some great flavor combinations. She also is pretty frugal about ingredients, and tells you when olive oil will do over extra virgin olive oil, and recommends cheeses other than parmesan reggiano. It's a great cookbook. I could live off her Green Rice recipe.

Cook book??? I don't need no stinkin' cook book, :lie: J/K
I have several, but not any specific one. I love to go to the internet for recipes!
On Food and Cooking and The Food Lover's Companion are both excellent references, although I wouldn't call either of them a cookbook.
My two favorite cookbooks are Thomas Keller's Bouchon and Anthony Bourdain's The Les Halles Cookbook.
Of course, there's also the notebook Allifunn gave me in which I keep all my favorite tried-and-true recipes.
