Books & Music What are your favorite Cookbooks...and why?

My favorite cookbooks are China Express, by Nina Simond, and of course The Joy of Cooking; the former because it is delicious, quick, and "authentic" Chinese food and the second because it has everything.
 
I love Ina garten cookbooks
My fav is the cookbook from the food network "How to boil water"
I like Tyler florence
Giada de leurentiis(spelling?)

Pretty much any cookbook. I love to cook. I am turning into my mother.
