My Favorite Cookbooks
I have so many cookbooks, seriously! I have never counted, but I have gobs and gobs. With that said, there are only a few that I turn to on a regular basis. Here are some of my favorite cookbooks!
If you love books, make certain to check out these other great book recommendations as well.
Back when I was posting my recipes and cooking tips on 3 Boys and a Dog regularly, I was asked numerous times about what cookbooks I suggest that everyone own. The below are a list of my favorite cookbooks that I recommend every busy Mom have in her kitchen library.
Would you like to save this?
We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later! You'll also get regular recipes & printables to your inbox!
When I am menu planning and can’t find anything we want in our regular recipe list or on Pinterest, I grab these books and start thumbing through (in order from first to grab):
My Favorite Cookbooks
These are just a few of my favorite cookbooks!
This book was printed in 1982 and is full of recipes by the Telephone Pioneers of Alabama. This is another one of those great books. Like Tribute, it is full of recipes from real Southern Women. Unlike it though, you can still get these (all of them in the series, including one for kids!)
Chock full of 700 slow cooker recipes, this is a must have for anyone with children or a busy lifestyle. From main dishes, to complete meals, to desserts, you may never have to use your stove again! LOVE it.
- First printed in 1988, these recipes passed the true test… the family dinner table! Guess what, this one is no longer in print either! You know they are good cookbooks when you have to wait for it to get passed down from someone else in your family! You are lucky, however! At the time of my writing this post, there are a few available on Amazon!
Obviously, I am Southern and my cookbook choices reflect my Heritage. Do you have a “can’t live without” cookbook?
The Junior League of Harris County did a cookbook called “Texas Ties” and it has been used so much that the pages fall out in clumps. It is fantastic if you are looking for something a little special. Of course, I am partial to all of the Southern Living Annual Recipes cookbooks and any church cookbook that a clutch of little old ladies have poured their famous potluck specialties into. I will have to look into your top 5. 🙂
Then you will love all the Calling All Cooks books – true Southern Old Lady recipes at their best!
