I want to find some new cookbooks that have recipes that are easy to follow - especially on how to season common meats/fishes, veggies differently for a change...
Any ideas ladies?

i got the Betty Crocker Bridal Edition for my shower - its great! It breaks down everything nicely and is good for a beginner or seasoned cook. One of those I know I will have on my shelf for a long time...(and it looks pretty!)
I also LOVE allrecipes.com - its great to browse recipes and read reviews, i cook from it all the time. foodnetwork.com is fantastic too. Hapy Cooking!

I recently bought the new Rachel Ray 30 minute meals. I have made a bunch of things so far and they have come out really well. They of course take me longer than 30 minutes, but that's ok!

Great thread.
I have an old Joy of Cooking that I refer to. I also have some weight watchers books.
Now I am going to check out the websites that were listed here.
Thanks!!!!

My former manager gave me one called, 'How to Cook Everything.' I think the author's last name is Brittman. It's great!

The Joy of Cooking is great....They have a new one but I think the old one is more classic.

I have the red Betty Crocker one that MIL Gave me for Christmas last year and I LOVE it. It has emergency subsitutions on the back cover and a section for ANYTHING! The recipes are good and easy to make

The Silver Palate cookbook has tons of awesome recipes, and a lot of things that you can make on special occasions.

I also just bought a weight watchers cooke book called 'Take Out' based on resturant menus. I've been cooking out of it for the last 2 weeks and everything has been really good. My fav so far is Chicken Saltumbuca.

Re: What is your favorite/most useful Cook Book?
For the sheer range of dishes, clear instructions, and dishes that are fairly simple, I love Better Homes & Gardens.
However, if I want to make something really special, I often use 'The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook.' I'm not even sure it's in print anymore--think I bought it more than 10 years ago. But consistently, some of the best dishes I've ever made came from that cookbook. The recipes tend to take a long time, have loads of ingredients (some hard to obtain), so I wouldn't recommend it for everyone, but I love it.
And for cookies, there is nothing better than 'Rose's Christmas Cookie' book--again, may not be in print anymore.
