I get the impression that most people just pull random recipes off the internet, rather than finding a food writer aligned with your tastes.
I'm a fan of Melissa Clark, especially after hearing her interviews, and I'm particularly eager to check out her new book, about one-pan meals, which is right up my alley.
The Silver Palate Cookbooks are indispensable and full of not only great recipes but a ton of useful food knowledge. If I had to choose just one, I would go with the first/original Silver Palate Good Times cookbook for the Chicken Marbella recipe alone. https://www.amazon.com/Silver-Palate...rmat=4&depth=1
Yes
A family members is getting married soon
And instead of gifts she asked for fav recipes
We got her a recipe book- ( off Amazon) also
Filled with cooking guides
But also got cook books ..
I like reading cook books … even tho there are millions
Of YouTube videos
I believe it’s not only much cheaper to cook your own food
You are less likely to over-eat or go off the rails from healthy eating if
You cook at home… also… I’m cooking more to have “ lunches” during the week,,, instead of fast foods
I’m cooking a Turkey today and have a chuck roast in the slow cooker… will have for dinner tonight
But also for meals this coming week ( and lunches at work)
Absolutely! I asked my wife for a couple of cookbooks last year. Cowboy Kent Rollins. Very simple but tasty.
I will go to the internet occasionally looking for specific recipes that we don't have. But mostly when I'm cooking, I prefer to have a cookbook open that I can quickly refer to, in a print size I can read from several feet away than trying to juggle my phone or tablet or walking back and forth to the computer. My hands are usually full and/or covered with something and it's just easier to glance at a cookbook that to put things down/clean my hands and pick up the phone.

I still do. Online recipes can be good, but sometimes getting to them with pop-ups, ads and other distractions is annoying. I use both, but I prefer cookbooks.
No more cookbooks. Gone when we moved cross country (along with 90% of our furniture). If there's a chef or cookbook writer I consistently like, I Google their name with the word recipe. Very rarely, I'll get a book at the library and use my copy machine.
ALL my recipes are organized in CopyMeThat. Best app EVER. I don't use any of the premium features, but I pay for it every year just to say thank you to the developers fir the FREE capabilities. Find a recipe online I want to save? Push a button. Love it.

I haven’t bought one in a long time, like 20 years or more.
Nonetheless, I would buy one if I saw one that was filled info and recipes that I actually might try.
Also, I still have all but one cookbook from when I did buy them, which was not often anyway. They’re worth keeping; I regret having donated that one cookbook of unusual recipes with historic background.
I've got a whole closet full of cookbooks in my kitchen so chances are good no more for me. But I still give them for gifts.
I like to give Joy of Cooking by Irma Rombauer. It has good information about ingredients, history and basic techniques in it. It's a good "reading" cookbook.
I do have favorite web cooks from whom I try new recipes.
No, I mostly know how to cook, & if I ever get the urge to try a new dish, I will look it up online & browse 3 or 4 recipes to get an idea of how to make it. Or better yet, find a restaurant that has it.
