Cookbook Recommendations
Posted on 6/15/22 at 8:13 pm

Im looking for some recommendations for everyday cookbooks. I am burned out on the recipes I have now and the regular rotation of meals I cook for the family. Any help would be appreciated.
I should add right now I’m using a collection of recipes pulled from websites and other people. I also use a pressure cooker book occasionally for easy meals during the week.

Mosquito Supper Club
Bought for my Dad, it’s a really nice cookbook
Pots, Pans & Pioneers would be a good one

For a cooking technique book that includes a bunch of recipes, try Ruhlman's Twenty: 20 Techniques 100 Recipes
For a new recipe, check out the link below. I made it last weekend and my family loved it.
Creamy Tuscan Chicken
Good luck

The technique approach reminds me of this classic... almost unlimited recipes once you learn a flexible method.

The Best of [State] are good.
So is The Louisiana Seafood Bible series.
John Folse's The Encyclopedia of Creole and Cajun Cuisine is awesome.
But I would go with America's Test Kitchen cookbook with recipes from all seasons.
Good Eats cookbooks are great as well.

What you might find helpful is a different kind of cookbook - one that helps you become a better cook rather than one that just provides reliable recipes. So many cookbooks fail to give the why (makes it difficult to substitute), use imprecise proportions, or provide vague heating instructions. You become a mind-numbed robot producing meals of average quality and that can suck the joy out of cooking.
It might be time to consider cookbooks that seek to educate you.
Anything by Alton Brown can do that, but also consider America’s Test Kitchen.
Here’s a few to consider:
The New Best Recipe
The New Cooking School Cookbook: Fundamentals
The Complete America’s Test Kitchen TV Show Cookbook 2001–2022

I have collected a few of the Telephone Pioneer books over the years. I like them because the recipes are submitted by locals.

Your public library can be a great place to check out cookbooks. They often have a huge collection of local and national titles. Used bookstores are another cheap source.

Yes!! If you are in Baton Rouge, the river center branch (downtown) used to have a collection of cookbooks that the Advocate reviewed
Not sure if they are still there (they’ll be either there or the main library) - but you can look at the catalog online and have them sent to the branch nearest you
Most cookbooks are in the 640s (Dewey decimal)

Any of the John Folse books.
