Meg–it depends on what sort of cooking you want to do. But, stay tuned, you gave me an idea for a post on my favorite “Baker’s Dozen” cookbooks–they might get you started.

But do let me know what you are wanting to cook–that makes it easier. I don’t much love “general” cookbooks, so I don’t have many that I use, read and keep…with a few exceptions.

Which one(s) would you suggest I start with??

I haven’t cooked much out of the latter yet, but the former has served me well indeed.

Based on your recommendation, I’ll have to look for this one – I really enjoy cookbooks that include some history or stories, and I’ve wondered how the term ‘curry’ came to be used in so many places!
