Cook by the Book

I love cookbooks. If I see a cool one, I've got to have it. I currently have TWENTY cookbooks, all of which I use rather regularly. I love them. I love the recipes they provide, and I really love the charming aesthetic they add to a kitchen. Here are some of my favorite staple cookbooks to have:
The Joy of Cooking
Flavors
5 Ingredient Fix (I use this one all the time)
Mastering the Art of French Cooking
The Cheesemonger's Kitchen
New Flavors for Desserts

Here are some I don't have yet:
Barefoot Contessa How Easy is That? (and pretty much all other Ina Garten cookbooks)
Macarons

The best way to buy a cookbook is NOT at the store. I always find amazing cookbooks at stores like William Sonoma or Anthropologie, but you'll save at least 50% if you write down the name, and buy it on Amazon.
