I collect cookbooks of all kinds...I have two from Britain, one is kind of an history book/cookbook and the other one is kind of an today's Brtiish Chef type cookbook. Right now I'm into world receipes...one by the country and the other for teaching kids about what countries grow for thier natural foods in their area...and how to prepare them.

Can't reply on an favorite receipe...there are many types out there that are really good eating.
