Okay I have an extensive cookbook collection, but I know there are some great ones out there I don't have and my birthday is coming up... What is your FAVORITE cookbook or baking book to COOK FROM? honorable mentions for ones that inspire you are welcome too, but if you don't cook from it please specify ;) Extra special bonus if they are from small publishers, self published, or from lesser known chefs!

This is so helpful when I need some inspiration in the kitchen or need a substitute.

“99 flavours divided into 16 categories and combined into 4851 pairings - perfect book for creative cooks - or anyone who’s curious about what to put with what. You can search by ingredient or by flavor categories like - roasted and toasted or salty and briny, meaty, green and grassy. I picked this up many years ago and think of it often.”
