My favorite cookbook was my first utility cookbook. This was a book my mom purchased for me when I went off to college:

The Campus Survival Cookbook #2

Basic basic recipes. But what a great foundation!

Any book by Donna Hay

And any "best of Bridge" cook books.

Mind you one year as a freebie promo I got a "Chatelaines" cookbook, big huge dinosaur like book and it has awesome cooking info as well as good recipes, good general reference book.
