[Joey]

I recently bought a Moroccan cook book and I don't often use cookbooks, but I've actually cooked a few things from it or borrowed ideas. I lurve Moroccan!

I also use the failsafe cookbook a fair bit :)

[mama_bel]

Mostly Google online for recipes, and the Thermomix Forum a close second. But the Thermomix Everyday Cookbook, Vegetarian Cookbook and Budget Busters booklets are my most-used over the past few months...

I've just got The Home Creamery and it's fast heading to be a fave!

[~kaoss~]

What Bel said. Anything TMX. But taste.com.au is where I go to find recipes if I want something particular.

[Merlion]

same here taste.com.au is my friend

[Stardust]

Failsafe here too atm. The RPAH cookbook is actually pretty tasty. I finf it moreso than the failsafe one. But, in my old lafe I loved the women's weekly ones. They have such delish recipes :) Tast.com is also excellent.

[Madi]

the TMX EDC atm :yes

But I love The Complete Cookies, Muffins, & Cakes Cookbook, and I love Frostbite - lots of wonderful feed the freezer recipies.

Google and The Cook's Companion which I refer to alot for the basics and for classic flavour combinations that I can use for either raw or cooked recipes.

And my grandmother's old recipe book that she gifted me when I got married.

[mrs fox]

taste.com.au is a life saver some nights
I have a Very very old CWA cookbook that was a collection from the ladies in the area I grew up. I love it, there are recipes for feed 40 to the best anzac cookies I have ever made/had.
Donna Hay and Maggie Beer are my fav cooks...would love to meet Maggie!

[Kathryn]

Ah, you thermomixers... :rofl

I use the Cooks Companion too Savannah. I recently got the AWW weeknight favourites (or something) which is pretty good, and got a Vegetarian Slow Cooker book the other day which I'm looking forward to thumbing through tonight or tomorrow when menu planning for this week. I'm a bit of a cookbookaholic.

DHs favourite is the everyday cookbook from when he was at school. It's falling apart at the seams. lol.

[Ethereal]

I would have once said CWA without hesitation but the new version is sadly lacking.

Taste.com is fabulous.

[bronja]

I love Taste.com.au too :)
ABA red cookbook from basics, like cakes etc
Organic Family Cookbook by Carol Charlton

[Merlion]

my other favourite is 4 ingredients. DH loves that book too. but what i need is a book thats one pot cookbook (and i don't have a harmomix so that doesn't count)

[Aine]

would love to meet Maggie!my mum has met her ...


I'm a bit of a cookbookaholic. I am as well hence the thread i have quite a collection

[Savannah]

Maggie was down here recently and Lisa S from IP met her at the markets and had a chat. Lucky girl!

We went and got bogged in muddy water instead. (Pics on my blog for those who need a laugh - http://www.savvywomyn.blogspot.com/ )

[Blossomtime]

No I can't choose just one ;)

Everyday in the Kitchen by Allan Campion and Michele Curtis - I really do use it most days! I've just seen an updated version (http://www.campionandcurtis.com/books.html) combined with some of their other books that looks great.

Kitchen Garden Cooking with Kids by Stephanie Alexander - great seasonal recipes from the vegie garden. Inspiring for gardening too :)

Apples for Jam by Tessa Kiros - because its so pretty and sometimes I feel like cooking a certain colour (recipes are grouped by colour themes).

[moo]

ooooooohhhhhhhh.......as for actual books that we own on our shelf........

the Captain would probably choose his Maggie Beer one.

I really love my Marie Claire food fast, have also been hitting my new GF one hard.

And I really like JM's Nourishing Traditions.........holding it ransom for my Pig City ;)
