Since moving out on my own, I've developed a taste for cooking, and I've had a lot of fun experimenting with different recipes I find online, mixing and matching, getting it just right, but this entire time I've been meaning to pick up a proper cookbook, both for inspiration, and so I can have a solid reference for the basics, since internet recipes aren't always reliable, like when I tried making french toast only to realize too late that the egg to milk ratio was way off, leaving me with something overcooked on the outside and soggy in the middle.
So I'm looking for suggestions for good starter cookbooks, ones which cover the essentials, but also, I would like any suggestions you fellows might have for additional cookbooks that I might add on, once I'm ready to start acquiring. I've seen names here and there, in the acquisitions thread for instance, but I'd definitely be curious to see your recommendations.
