I consider cooking a craft. I found this post from Casual Kitchen on Foundational Cookbooks, listing six foundational cookbooks to own that you'll actually use. Embarrassingly, I don't own any of these. I think my first purchase from this list would be the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook
and then the Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant.![](http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=craftevangelist&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B003AW4ICG)
My cookbooks are family cookbooks and my own compilation of collected recipes from the internet. What are your foundational cookbooks?

My foundational cookbooks are my Mennonite Treasury, a Taste of Home collection from the year we were married, and a whole lot of Company's Coming cookbooks. I don't know how people in the know feel about Company's Coming but I got a lot of them as gifts when I got married and I like that the ingredients are common things that I usually have.
My top six are:
-Joy of Cooking (a gift from a friend a few years ago, and it has been in very frequent use since)
-Better Homes and Gardens (affectionately referred to as the red-checked book)
-What's Cooking Chicken by Tom Bridge
-Canadian Living Cookbook
-Company's Coming Easy Entertaining
-Dad Cooks up a Party (Bob Sloan)
