The Joy of Cooking

Not just a cookbook, a great source of cooking information and FAQs. I refer to it for times, temps and different cooking style ideas.

This is a staple go to in our home. What I love about it most is the detailed technical and scientific descriptions of cooking techniques, choosing cuts of meat, storing, carving, in easy to find categories. There are also great reference sections in the back and an awesome index to help you quickly find whatever you need. It's a one stop comprehensive cookbook for everything!
