Talk About Good is one of my favorite Cajun recipes books
It was a junior league collection so it'll have the person's name and where they live. It's really sweet
My momma has a similar cookbook and it has like 50s glamor shots of the women and cher it's so cute
Hit me with your favorite cookbook
Doesn't necessarily have to be because of the recipes could be the art (hello Cook Korean!) Or lovely Lil stories
Could also be for cursed reasons (kind of love those bizarre jello everything cookbooks)
Dorie Greenspan’s Baking Chez Moi — good assortment of recipes and also what happens to be my by far fav wheat free / gluten free cake recipe
Lateral Cooking by Nikki Segnit — don’t directly use the recipes a ton but an interesting read / model for thinking about food
Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything — sometimes you just want a single page comparing the cooking times for five diff kinds of lentils without a ton of fuss
@Cyborgneticz outside of baked goods i rarely just look up and follow a single recipe so the books i’d think of definitely skew more towards baking than my actual practice haha
Nick Malgieri’s Cookies Unlimited has been a faithful friend for years
Maury Rubin’s Book of Tarts contained a lot of delicious experiments
