Cookbooks

I don't collect vintage cookbooks, but I do love the 40 or so that I do have. I do not cook out of them nearly as much as I would like since most of my cooking is for me.

I do swear by my Henry's Hunan cookbook (local SF Hunan place) and any of the Italian cookbooks I have (Marcella Hazan, Rao's and at least a dozen others).

I used to have the 1950's edition of the Better Homes & Gardens cookbook, I think this is the cookbook I learned how to make a caesar salad from (I remember the big picture of the wooden salad boat). A lot of what was in there was pretty scary as I recall.

I also cook regularly from Madhur Jaffrey's Vegetarian cooking and an Indian cookbook I can't recall the title.
