If Your Were Stranded On a Desert Island....

If you were stranded on a desert island.....which cookbook would you bring?

Can you let me know because I need to add it to my cookbook chair. I just finished this easy project to transform a chair from simple to fun and functional and I'm lookin for some cookibook suggestions for my kitchen.

You could add it to a study for homeschooling or an office for notepaper! The possibilites are endless! #MyKitchen

Time: 1 Hour Cost: $16.00 Difficulty: Easy

I love this idea. I've seen it done on a children's desk chair before, but love the idea of using it in the kitchen for cookbooks too.
The only cookbook I've ever really used was Better Homes and Gardens' red and white checked one. We got it as a wedding gift and it's been more useful than any other I've had.

I would take my mom's cookbook. About 20 years ago, she published a cookbook of everything I grew up with. It's out of print, so that wouldn't help you, but I have cooked almost everything in the book.
I also love the big thick Cooks Illustrated Cookbook, and have recently been infatuated with Yotam Ottolenghi and his vegetarian cookbook "Plenty." He's a famous London chef, and his cookbook is beautiful and full of fantastic recipes.

Sharon, I have one of those, too (except it's green). And I might take that instead of the Cooks Illustrated book. Also, how much could you cook on a desert island? Do I get an oven and a food processor?

Good point Steve! Now if you added an extra "s" to desert, it would be more to my liking. :^D

Mmmmmm, dessert island. Homer Simpson probably said that at some point.

Being a great study of Gilligan's Island, whenever I go on a 3 hour tour, I pack several suitcases and I bring along "1001 Ways to Cook Coconut". Just hope I remember my coconut opener.

That would be my kind of island Steve. Not sure about Homer since I'm not a fan of that show myself.
Ha ha ha. Good one Kevin.

I would be fun in the garden with yard and garden books in it?

I'd love this for my bird watching window, filled with bird book guides and a pair of binoculars.
