Rombauer & Becker's The Joy of Cooking is an excellent basic cookbook with

a wide variety of well written recipes.  The index, too, is very good.

However, I have found that it is largely what my wife calls 'down home'

cooking: basic, solid meals.  The recipes for more 'gourmet' kinds of things

are not as good.  Also, almost always has more salt than I care for.  The

white bread recipe is good, though.  It really does have strange things in it:

including a recipe for raccoon.
