About me: I love to cook, but have been slightly more pressed for time since my son has been born! When I can, I love to make pasta and expose Connor to lots of new tastes so he will love food as much as I!

The Gourmet Cookbook: More than 1000 recipes

By Zanne Early Stewart, Ruth Reichl, John Willoughby
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt - 2006

As with everyone else, this is an excellent cookbook. II often start here when looking for recipes. It has such a wide variety, and I find the ones I have used are quite versatile and forgiving if you change up the recipe. Great for basics and a starting point for creating your own meals (as well as lots of advanced recipes).
