I am not one for cook books. I generally look up recipes on the internet when I am curious, but I am a meat a taters kind of cook. I have had two cookbooks that made an impact on my life, the first was My First Cookbook, which you would send away for from Imperial Sugar. It was a child's cookbook, with all kinds of simple recipes that really helped you to learn to measure and mix and all that stuff. My sister had one and so did I. I learned to make biscuits that way. The second was one I purhased when I first went to college and had an apartment and want to impress dates. It was called Cooking For One Or Two, and I still have it somewhere. It had a really good recipe for hommeade brownies and stuffed chicked breasts. I used it until pages started falling out.
