I'd take 3 of your 4 too Janet
Julia's "The Way To Cook"
Marcella Hazen's "Classic Italian Cooking"
my ancient copy of "The New York Times Bread and Soup Cookbook" (mine is literally falling apart)
Julia's "Mastering the Art..." (well okay, that is two books)
an old version of "The Joy of Cooking"
Do I really have to stop??? Can't I take 10?

Cathy, I have been enjoying your recipes for years...
And it seems your island is VERY well stocked smileys/smile.gif Sorry about the drought, though!

Mine would have to be the ones I actually use or sentimental ones.
I have all the fancy ones & do read & use them from time to time but my workhorse/sentimental ones are:
My 1975 2-volume version of The Doubleday Cookbook - it has good versions of just about everything including foreign recipes. My workhorse go-to cookbook. It is becoming terribly tattered.
La Cucina de La Frontera - tough picking this one over Bayless or Diana Kennedy, but it is regional and I use it more.
Pepin's Fast Food My Way
An old Dallas Soroptimist Club cookbook my boss gave me many years ago.
The old 1950's Betty Crocker for sentimental value & for some old childhood favorites I can't duplicate anywhere else.
