I use Cooking up a storm the most.
Any good suggestions to add to my small collection?

One of my friends recently picked up the Matty Matheson cookbook and said it's great

Prudhomme’s Louisiana Kitchen is the best cookbook I own.

That is my second favorite. Great book.

I can pretty much wing any cajun dish and have it come out good, things such as stews, gumbo, jambalaya, etoufee, sauce picaunt..... omit I need a reference for a technique or something I use the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, it's a pretty good reference.

This is the cookbook my mother always used, so now I use it as well.
For other dishes, I usually just look around online until i find a recipe I like. I also now have this book and really want to attempt a few things here and there, but I'm intimidated as hell by it.

Not the most glamorous or creative, but just solid base recipes and cooking information I can use to experiment a bit.

Me too--I don't really need a LA style cookbook. If I'm looking up a technique or base recipe for something I don't cook very often, I reach for:
--Joy of Cooking (a little bit of everything, including basics like meringue and puddings/custards)
--Bittman's How to Cook Everything, for inspiration & random recipes when I have no real ideas for the stuff on hand
--the Essential NY Times Cookbook, by Amanda Hesser; more modern in flavors than Joy or Better Homes
Most used books in my house are all baking-specific; Robertson's Tartine, Forkish's Flour Water Salt Yeast; Reinhart's BBA; Hamelman's Bread; Modernist Bread, etc.
I also have a slew of ethnic/regional cookbooks I don't really use regularly, but I enjoy looking at & occasionally do "project cooking" out of.

Kind of my feeling too. I have some good ones but now when i want a recipe i kind of just throw ingredients into google and see what looks good

The one I use most is a collection of my mom’s recipes in a binder. Over the years I’ve had her write down most of the foods she cooked while I was growing up, and over the years she and I have exchanged recipes and grown the collection. The actual book I use the most is one of the Frank Davis cookbooks, but much more frequently I’m cooking my mom’s stuff.
