Good Cookbooks?

[7rider]

Yeah, gotta keep the old edition for the wild game recipes and the bartender's guide.

I don't know how "new" my Joy of Cooking is. It's about 10 years old now. I know it's not the OLD one....but I'm unsure if it's been re-done yet again. I pull mine out frequently for information on the basics.
- "How long am I supposed to roast that [insert food item] for and at what temp?"
- "How do I truss a chicken again??"
- "I have a [blank]. What on earth can I do with it??"
It's a good book for that. I rarely follow specific recipes from it (or any of my books.)
(Come to think of it, tho', I never did check it for puffballs.)
