I doubt my mother used her cookbook. She did have the Joy of Cooking, though.
She basically invented her own recipes.
My first cookbook was Betty Crocker. It was the same one we used in home ech. Larry still gets Betty out once in awhile to check on sauces.
I don't tend to use a recipe as written. I will the first time. Then from then on I edit it to make it mine.
