Summary: Cookbooks - Some Kosher, Some General

Besides "Joy of Cooking" I have enjoyed the following general cookbooks:

"Good Housekeeping Illustrated Cookbook" (approx $20)

	Has a section in the front of nothing but color photos of each recipe
	in the book. Helpful both in cooking and in deciding "What vegetable
	dish do I want to include in this menu?" and the like.

Sunset "Easy Basics for Good Cooking" Lane Publishing Co, Menlo Park, Ca.
	(approx $10)

	Good explanations, simple, tried and true recipes. Good photos.
	Their smaller books on all sorts of kinds of cooking are good, too.

Cookbooks for Kosher Cooking
============================

"The Jewish Holiday Kitchen" by Joan Nathan, Schocken Books ($10)

	A WINNER!!! Super recipes from all over. Lots of great Sefardic
	stuff. Good instructions. Most of the recipes are pretty easy, too. 
	
"The Spice and Spirit of Kosher-Jewish Cooking" 
	The Lubavitch Women's Organization, approx $15.

	Simple, tasty, inexpensive recipes for standard Eastern European
	Jewish fare.

"The Chosen Appetizers & Desserts" 
	edited by Marylin Stone, Triad Publishing Co., Gainesville, Florida

	Despite the cutesy title, it has lots of good recipes for high
	calorie, high cholesterol dishes. Difficulty of recipes
	varies greatly.
