My Tools

So I figured I'd put up some images of my tools - the recipe books I own. Some of these are traditional family recipe books, others I have been gifted, and other still I have simply bought. If a recipe comes from any of them, I will note it. So far most of my recipes have been from people's own creation.

First I'll show the Family cook books:
(Mum has bought me copies over the years!)

Five Roses

The Personality of Meat

Cook and Enjoy it

Then there are the books I've been gifted:

Favourite Farmhouse/ British Recipes from Aunt Marlene 

Mrs Beetons - a gift from Mum, but not a traditional one we use.

Slow Cooker Recipes from Colleen and Wilfried

Cooking for Friends, also from Colleen and Wilfried
(co-owned)

Mastering the Art of French Cooking - my most recent cookbook, given to me by Mum and Dad in efforts to encourage my cooking, and because we recently saw that movie Julie & Julia (after I'd started my blog)...

500 Low Carb Recipes -

I'd bought this one a few years back...the Guacamole comes from it!

 And one I'm sure we are all familiar with now day! =P

There are a few books I'd like to get my hands on, when the time comes... :

The Joy of Cooking - apparently I can't cook in North America without it...

Cooks Illustrated, Cooking for Two - apparently really user friendly.

Anyone else have suggestions of cook books they can't live without?
