The Cookbook: The Williams-Sonoma Cookbook
I chose this cookbook in hopes that cooking some more complicated recipes would aid me in drop #11. It has something like 325 recipes ranging from spaghetti and meatballs to tea-smoked duck with a honey-soy dipping sauce; from appetizers to home-made breads and desserts. Some of the recipes do require special tools and ingredients that I have never worked with, while I have no desire to make some of the others. Regardless, I have plenty of time and occasions to make all of these recipes, so hopefully I can just bring the recipes featuring ingredients I don't favor and drop it at some fancy holiday party.
