Anyway, i decided to see what, by professional culinary standards, are the BEST cookbooks ever constructed.
There are 50 on the list, but i figured i'd narrow it down to the top ten! If you are interested in the others, just CLICK HERE!

Here's the top 10:
10. Great Dishes of the World Robert Carrier (Marshall Cavendish, 1963)
9. Sichuan Cookery Fuchsia Dunlop (Penguin, 2003)
8. The Classic Italian Cookbook Marcella Hazan (Papermac, 1973)

3. The Book of Jewish Food Claudia Roden (Penguin, 1996)
2. French Provincial Cooking Elizabeth David (Penguin, 1960)
