My most tattered cookbooks:

I really depend on epicurious.com a lot. Currently using La Varenne Pratique by Anne Willan. Rob Feenie and Daniel Boulud's online recipes are great too. I also use a lot of Emeril Lagace's stuff but I get it online. He was far too big for a while but I have never had one of his recipes flop. I also use Graham Kerr's healthy cookbooks from time to time.
