| | During summer months, I really like: - Indian Grill: The Art of Tandoori Cooking at Home
- Alice Water's "Chez Panisse Vegetables"
- Current magazines (Fine Cooking, Food and Wine, Saveur)
P.S.: and I forgot to add Nancy Silverton's La Brea Bakery and Baking with Julia!

| | Joy of Cooking!
I read this site and other cookbooks for inspiration. I love looking at pictures, so anything that has lots of pictures like the French Laundry Cookbook and James Peterson's sauce book. Lots of Art Culinaire, things like that. But I never ever have used a recipe from any of these. I kinda look at them and say to myself, "hmm, something like this could work...." When there's a formula or a technique which puzzles me, I turn to the Joy of Cooking first! To me, the explanations in that cookbook are among the most thorough I've ever seen.

| | Well, yesterday I pulled out my Iowa Bed and Breakfast cookbook. I have started collecting cookbooks of regional cuisine instead of silly t-shirts, and they make great souvenirs!
