Definitely the Good Houskeeping Cookbook- in the large paperback format (not the looseleaf style- too big and I can imagine pages tearing out at the holes). Joy of Cooking may be too intimidating. I use my GH cookbook when I want to know basics- like how long to cook corn on the cob… Nice color illustrations of all sorts of foods. Plus mom’s modifications of many recipes (I use every shortcut possible and microwave whenever I can). I’m thinking of also making a list of brands of various goods I use. It is nice to have a complete reference, not just recipes.
