We asked you on our Social Networking pages which was your GoTo Cookery or Recipe book. It seems that we rarely bother with a book any more and most of us turn to the internet when looking for an elusive recipe. Despite this we have a list of ten books that still have a home in our modern day kitchens.
Betty Crocker is top of our list; Betty’s packet mixes have been making an appearance in British supermarkets and specialist shops but she is a well known and much loved favourite for all our American followers.
Irma Starkhoff Rombauer’s wonderful Joy of Cooking is in second place.
The self titled Fannie Farmer Cookbook is in third place; I just love it for the name.

The next five books, in the order of nomination are:
The Primrose Bakery Book ~ Martha Swift
How to Cook Everything ~ Mark Bittman
Food to Die For ~ Patricia Cornwell
Jamie’s 15-Minute Meals ~ Jamie Oliver
Delia’s Complete Cookery Course ~ Delia Smith
I think it’s such a shame that Kitchen Cookery books seem to be becoming a thing of the past; I love mine and am always leafing through them for something new to try out on my poor unsuspecting victi… umm family.
I will definitely be looking out for the Patricia Cornwell book Food to Die For. That sounds fascinating!
