One year I wrote up a cookbook of favorite and easy "primer" recipes for my daughters and made it up into a nice binder for Christmas. They still use them.

there are a lot of lovely cookbooks, and I buy too many. But every household should have an all purpose cookbook like Joy, or like the Fannie Farmer Cookbook, so you can look up how long to cook a turkey or how long to soft-boil eggs.

HA! That's great. Needs more recipes.
Do YOU have one to contribute?

I'd also consider "Mastering the Art of French Cooking: Vol. 1" by Julia Child and -- Simone Beck, I think.
This is Julia Child's classic cookbook, and my mother's basic cookbook. Many of the recipes are familiar from my childhood--beef bourganon, rice pilaf, aspic (shudder); pate . . . Just cut the butter use a bit. I'm going to try some of the vegie recipes--like cold vegetables a la grecque; or braised onions.

I haven't compared recipes side by side, but I know that some of the recipes have been deleted and new ones substituted.

Butter is good. The only substitute (in appropriate recipes) I'd ever consider is farm-fresh lard.
