The other day it occurred to me that I certainly have favorite cookbooks/websites that I go to (beside TTOL) when I am looking for new ideas for dinner. Figuring that we all might find a new favorite - I decided to start this poll. My favorites - Website: First choice is always http://www.epicurious.com. I love the reviews, as they help narrow down the most successful recipes. Next would have to be http://www.finecooking.com. While this is a paid membership site, anything I've cooked off there is divine. Cookbooks:I own every Craig Claiborne cookbook and probably go to one of these first. Everything always turns out. I do have at least another 50 other cookbooks that are souvenirs from world wide travel. For a foodie, opening up a cookbook from Belgium, South Africa or Australia makes for a fun weekend night meal. What about you guys? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />

All of the above!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> It gets confusing sometimes because I get daily recipes and when you open one recipe you see another and another. It's becoming a job!! I'm frickin' retired!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> But, really love to read them. A great Italian site is on www.about.com. Kyle Phillips' recipes are good, with history and many are his wifes' Elisabetta, who's Italian. He lives in Tuscany. His background is also interesting. American father who taught at the U.of Tuscany and Italian mother. I get the recipes/history lessons each week and look forward to them. I even communicate with him, personally. I have many recipes of my grandmothers stored in my head (but am putting them in print) and we talk about the 'old' Italy vs. the new. Very different and interesting. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> Contessa

Hey Brian,
Your Yankee Magazine Favorite New England Recipes reminds me of one I have "The Lily Wallace New American Cookbook" published in 1963! My mom always cooked out of this one and I got it for not only the recipes, but sentimental reasons too.
I'll have to look for yours.

I hear ya, Contessa!! I'm retired too and inundated with recipe emails, but I'm not quite ready to opt out! I'm getting stuff from MyRecipes.com, SouthernLiving.com, and CookingLight.com. I like reading the comments before I make something. Also I like Stephanie's Kitchen (she's on hiatus right now). I swear I will NOT buy another cookbook, because everything I could ever want is online! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

periwinkle said: I swear I will NOT buy another cookbook, because everything I could ever want is online! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> I will... there are just some recipes you can't find online... I got a first edition Fannie Farmer Cookbook at a garage sale years ago... DEFINATELY NOT Heart Healthy! (a lot of recipes use LARD!)... But some are very old tried and true recipes you will never find online! I love the old cookbook versions... My copy of "Joy of Cooking" is the 1942 version! well worn and stained pages! It came from my Grandmother... FYI... the first edition of "Joy of Cooking" was published in 1931... and it's worth a small fortune... in the $2500 range... http://www.alibris.com/booksearch.detail..._-anonisbn-_-na

Well, I will have to be the first to admit that I use the Food Network website the most. And I have way too many cookbooks but I can't seem to part with any of them...

My favorite cookbook is a toss-up between my own recipe file and Joy of Cooking (1975 - the 2006 edition is good also, but avoid the 1997 edition).
Websites: Recipezaar, cookingforengineers, and tastespotting.

We have found that every recipe we've tried from the Virginia Hospitality cookbook by the Jumior League of Hampton Roads, Inc., 1310-C Todds Lane, Hampton, VA 23666. We received their Bicentennial Edition in 1988 but see that the copyright dates back to 1975. It may still be available but I'm not sure.

That is a great cookbook Kimmers, I have to say that Hampton Roads/Tidewater has a lot of great cooks and restaurants that are unsurpassed.

Il Giardino is still open; however, La Galleria closed, it was taken over for a brief time by another owner but with all the new and exciting restaurants in downtown Norfolk it just couldn't hold on. Downtown Norfolk has gone through a major overhaul in the past 5-10 years and Granby Street is again alive and well.

I'm close to needing therapy for this! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />

I would say that these days I rarely use my cookbooks-I usually go to the Foodnetwork Site, specifically the Barefoot Contessa, as others here.
