I have cookbooks in my kitchen for different reasons. Some are given to me and I appreciate the thought but few of those have things in them I would try. Others are the old spiral community cookbooks filled with comfort recipes tried over and over proven to still deliver good dishes for the table. The books that I choose I wouldn't necessarily call them cookbooks but more like kitchen how-to books. Beer making, cheese making, fundamental bread making, fermenting foods, drying foods, etc. I find there to be a world of difference between recreating a recipe and learning the process of creating the food bases that then go into recipes.

I don't normally cook with recipes, but when I do, I have a binder full of them. I also use the basic Joy of Cooking and several Moosewood books. Oooh, good to know.
