Some cooks are able to improvise in the kitchen and some need strict recipes. Cooking books are beneficial not only for the stricter chefs but also to spark inspiration in the kitchen. There are several amazing cookbooks out there about every type of cuisine you can think of.
One of the most classic cookbooks of all time though is The Joy of Cooking by Irma S. Rombauer. This book is filled with hundreds of classic recipes which you can strictly follow or improvise from. The book is filled with adorable illustrations and is very comprehensive, even for the timidest cooks.
The Joy of Cooking is a must for any kitchen library. There are over eight editions filled with new and improved recipes for desserts, meals, soups, and salads. You will never wonder what to make in the kitchen again!
