I only need 2 cookbooks

I love cookbooks as much as I love to eat. I have too many, so now I take them out of the library. My girlfriend just shakes her head and says: Another one? But, the 2 cookbooks I have used since I began cooking (and I won't tell you when) are:

The Joy of Cooking (of course) and The Twenty-Minute Low-Fat Gourmet by Karen Levin.

The Joy of Cooking is my cooking dictionary. If you don't already know, it was written by a mother-daughter team from St. Louis, Marion Becker and Irma Rombauer, whose first instructions to the cook were "stand facing the stove." Right up my alley. The Low-fat Gourmet's recipes are tried and true winners and simple.

How about you?
