Cookbooks

I have been collecting cookbooks for over 40 years.

I have two categories that are my favorite. First I love the science books, like Shirley Corriher's Cookwise. They cover the chemistry reasons why recipes work or don't work.

I also love the historical ones.

I have one called the Last Dinner on the Titanic. It has the menues and recipes for the food served on the Titanic.

And, I also have quite a few about regional foods and time periods, for example: The Foxfire Book of Appalachian Cookery.
