- Real Recipes from Real People -

I personally have two suggestions to begin your collection.

Misc.
For a classic encyclopedic view of contemporary cooking I suggest the "NEW YORK TIMES COOKBOOK" by Craig Claiborne. For a minimalist modern view I certainly enjoy "HOW TO COOK EVERYTHING (SIMPLE RECIPES FOR GREAT FOOD), by Mark Bittman.
For classic Mexican cooking I prefer "THE COMPLETE BOOK OF MEXICAN COOKING" by Elizabeth Lambert Ortiz, and as an Introduction simple and faithful (in English) to Caribbean Cooking I suggest "COMPLETE BOOK OF CARIBBEAN COOKING" also by Mrs. Lambert-Ortiz.

As you see, dear Dianne, I get carried away inmediately by a favorite subject. I am sure the ladies will provide many more titles for your selection. You will see that this will become a lifetime endeavor.

If I may say so, congratulations on your interest dear friend.
