I love River Road Recipies. It was put together by the Junior League of Baton Rouge in the 50s (I think that's when it was). There's lots of delicious stuff in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-cookbooks#post-463458 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 21:52:20 +0000 shopaholic 463458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: Those kinds of recipes are the best!<br /> @hilsy85: Glad to hear your review!

When I moved out my mom sent me with a box of written recipes that I grew up eating. I refer to them all the time! Even when I find something online that I like I print it out and put it in my box. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-cookbooks#post-462631 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 08:33:09 +0000 heffalump 462631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a ton. I love looking through cookbooks. I go there first and if I can't find what I'm looking for ill look online. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-cookbooks#post-462519 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 06:09:32 +0000 sorrycharlie 462519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have several but never use then, I go online instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-cookbooks#post-462500 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 05:38:16 +0000 hellobeeboston 462500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a few, maybe 7 or 8 but the ones I always look at are:</p> <p>How to Cook Everything (mark Birman) and one of<br /> Ina Gartens Barefoot Contessa books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-cookbooks#post-462469 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 03:59:18 +0000 shopaholic 462469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have about 2 dozen cookbooks and a binder with save-worthy-recipes I've accumulated for over 10 years. These days I do prefer to just find recipes online, but I can't resist a really beautiful cookbook if I come across one. My last 2 cookbook additions were: Momofuku &amp; Sophie Dahl's Voluptuous delights. I want to get Smitten Kitchen next. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-cookbooks#post-462393 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 00:07:42 +0000 eeh 462393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I collect them. My favorites are church or club fundraising ones with normal recipes and ingredients. I will always buy a fundraising cookbook because my favorite recipes have come f them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-cookbooks#post-462390 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 00:02:45 +0000 lemondrop 462390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have America's Test Kitchen, the one I use alllllll the time!

The only one I use! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-cookbooks#post-462366 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 23:26:12 +0000 pl0508 462366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love looking at cookbooks but rarely use them for recipes !

I usually find recipes online and jot them down. Out of my limited collection, America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook is my favorite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-cookbooks#post-462298 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 22:22:55 +0000 softcream 462298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have two tall bookcases packed to the gills with cookbooks and food-related books. plus some more scattered around because we've run out of shelf space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-any-cookbooks#post-462290 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 22:18:12 +0000 Mrs. Pen 462290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: hahah same.

But they've all been gifts, mostly from my mother. A lot of them were on my wish list though. I prefer physical cookbooks to digital. But I do mostly look up recipes online.
