What is your favorite cookbook?

Post by Lynn Farris »

I was just curious. DL said her first vegetarian cookbook was Moosewood - which was one of the first vegetarian restuarants in Ithaca NY - an amazing place.

I still use my Better Homes and Garden cookbook for basic things. I also like Linda McCartney's cookbook for Vegetarian foods.
