Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook
This was the first cookbook I ever owned and is where all my recipes started from as a base. I have never tried a recipe that I didn’t like. The edition I have is from 1996 publication date, but this is the more recent version. Hands down the best cookbook I’ve ever owned.
