Which of her cookbooks is your fav? I have just recently gotten into watching her and am thinking about ordering one of her cookbooks. I want the one that has the most "normal" recipes, ha!

I have a discount offer through my book club if I order a book by tomorrow.

I had to order last night to get the discount. I got Cooking 2.

Thanks for the input and I will keep that in mind for later.
