What is your favorite cookbook?

I am a chameleon when it comes to “favorite” anything. It changes all the time but my favorite cookbook right now is–

Its a collection of kitchen tips, food fixes, emergency substitutions and handy techniques from everyday readers of Fine Cooking magazine compiled into a book.

“A method for fighting off onion tears: light a candle and set it right next to the onions on the cutting board before you start chopping. The sulfur in the flame burns off the onion’s sulfuric compounds before they have a chance to reach your eyes.”

I am a candle freak!  There’s no shortage of candles in my home so I tried it the other night.  It totally works!  No more tears!!  w00t w00t!  Now if only I could find something for onion breath.
