I love America's test kitchen tv shows, and often copy recipes from there. They work really well. So your suggestion is tempting. Also anything Ina G , aka barefoot Contessa, will not disappoint.

A must if you cook for your dog (s)

I love all the cookbooks that use to be put out by churches and clubs, where everyone would send in their family favorites. I seem to always go to one of those when looking for a recipe. They are tried and true and usually easy too!

I used to have that one. Someone borrowed and kept it in the last 10 years.

The ones I use the most are The Glory of Southern Cooking by James Villas, Trisha Yearwood's Family Favorites and Delish, Eat like Every Day is the weekend.

Before I forget, from 1971, "The Chef's Secret Cook Book," by Louis Szathmary. Everything in this book is as "spot on" today as when it was written over 40-years ago. The recipes are well illustrated and easy to follow. This cookbook is one of my favorites. It is relaxing just reading Chef Louis' recipe secrets.

That's adorable, @Drythe
I have some cooking for dogs books, but had not seen that one. I may just add that to my collection.
As to cooking for humans, it's changed over the years.
I still have my falling-apart copy of Betty Crocker's cookbook, which still reveals some basics that some other cookbooks may not have.
Someone's in the Kitchen with Dinah [Shore] has the best recipe for cornmeal pancakes!
In later years, I liked Craig Claiborne's NY Times International Cookbook. It has a delicious caraway seed soup with dumplings that I used to make every winter.
These days, Ina Garten is the one I use most often, if I'm looking for a particular recipe.
On the other hand, grilling salmon and eating it with a green salad doesn't really need a recipe. Nor does making an all-vegetable soup like I did today. All it took was raiding my freezer!
