Honestly, this board is my cookbook for all things cajun / creole, as well as other genres.

He’s a shite, but Mario Batali’s Molto Mario is gold for Italian cooking.

I use the F&DB Cookbook almost exclusively. Now my wife (no pics) has a bookcase full of cookbooks, but I believe she uses the internet to search for new recipes.

Was coming to post this. I also enjoy the Vernon Roger's (RIP) Cajun Cookbook. A few other's have been mentioned - Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen, River Road. All necessary. Finally, also as someone else mentioned - I google the hell out of this board, use the jamb calculator and the TD cookbook.

So cool that the River Roads Recipes cookbooks are still in so many homes, and mentioned here.

My mom worked on them decades ago when Junior League put them out.
