Thanks Alliea.  I live in Canada and have never seen them.  Perhaps in a book store and I overlooked them.  I shall keep my eyes open in my travels since they come highly recommended here.

Mine is my Betty Crocker Cookbook my grandma got me in 1975...the binding is all falling out and the book is so tattered...but I use this one all of the time.It has alot of fond memories for me..

I used that old Cookbook site to look up and old Cookbook I got from my Mom.  It is a 1959 Farm Journal Country Cookbook.  It didn't have it listed.  I use the Church cookbook from the church we got married in 1978.  I've added alot of my favs in it.     Beth

Alliea - Do you know how old the Betty Crocker cookbook is?

I have so many... but my favorite would have to be my mom's cookbook She wrote and/or typed out family favorites many, many years ago, recipes that she collected during her 63 years of marriage. She passed away a few years ago, so it's my treasure. The 2 or 3 cookbooks I use the most are community/church group cookbooks, always a lot of tried and true, comfort food recipes! Enjoyed reading all the posts!

 Well, I guess if I had to pick a favorite, it is going to have to be my Farm Journal Country's Country Cookbook. I absolutely love ALL of the Farm Journal cookbooks. But I think the one 1 cookbook I reach for more often than not is that one! 

Thanks for starting this thread! A very interesting one that I'm gonna be keeping an eye one! Who knows! I might discover a recommendation for a cookbook that I will simply have to get to add to the collection!

bumping for a few more.  Do you think the TOH cookbook will eventually rank up there with Betty Crocker and BHG?

I have too many 'favorite' cookbooks, but my favorite for vegetables is America's Best Vegetable Recipes from Farm Journal.

I recieved the Betty Crocker cookbook (red spiral) back in 1981 for a wedding shower gift.

 

 

I'd have to say my favorites though are all my Gooseberry Patch Books.  I just love them!
