Favorite Recipes From Cookbooks (recipes not included)

While responding to another post further down, I thought of this
and thought it might be fun. This is what I wrote down there:
.
Oooo .. maybe that would a fun thread ... asking what
are favorite recipes from pretty common cookbooks
many of us may have .. you know, the recipes you return
to because you like them so much .. the recipes (or few)
that are worth the price of the book alone. Whatcha think?
I think I'll open that one and see what happens. Wouldn't
it be fun to dust off a long-neglected book and say, "oh, YES ...
that's why I bought this book in the first place!"
.
Here are a few of mine to start:
.
*** Moosewood Cookbook - Maple-Walnut Pie (made by..sigh..
someone I had a secret crush on years ago .. and when I made
it later, it was just as good)
.
*** New Basics - Lacy Oatmeal Cookies (the best chocolate
chip cookies, IMO)
.
*** Betty Crocker (small paperback 1969) - Meatloaf (out of
dozens of meatloaf recipes, on the rare occasion I want it,
this is what I want, made with 1/2 beef, 1/2 turkey, though)
.
*** Joy of Cooking - Pecan or Angel Slices (these made
the rounds of the Transformational Psychology types in
So. CA in the 70's and are STILL great!)
