Default Joy of Cooking...Does anyone use cookbooks anymore?

I don't, although many are stored in the desk drawer by my knee. I was gifted with Betty Crocker Cookbook as a wedding gift and much later purchased the Joy of cooking. In the Joy of Cooking, "Cockaigne"(favorite home recipes) recipes are named after Cincinnati home of Marion & John Becker (Irma Rombauer's daughter & Ethan Becker's mother) They were often in the local news in Cincinnati.

The Joy of Cooking leaves no stone unturned, even showing how to gut game. (eww) and prepare sweetbreads. (ick)

I gave away many cookbooks when we moved here permanently because a lot of the information was available more easily on line. I love to cook. I find simple things like Custard so yummy, and find joy in a good meatloaf.

What are some of your favorite things to make that are not difficult?
