I have a bunch of old cook books from my wife's grandparents...all old south style cooking, and all good "down home" cooking as we around here call it. Most of them have been passed down through her family and friends over many generations. I'd like to revisit them and see what I can come up with.

I only have the 25th anniversary edition which came out a few years ago but I don't think I have done anything out of it. I'll have to revisit it.
I have more baking related books than general cooking. Except for baking I don't usually use one cookbook, I open two or three with the same or similar recipe and take the best of each.

Okay, I went to my pantry to see what cookbooks I might add to the list. I have a number of cookbooks I have collected over the years and haven't opened in a long time. In addition to the two Silver Palate cookbooks by Rosso and Lukins, they also have one called The New Basics. Several books I received from my parents were by Jeff Smith (The Frugel Gourmet and The Frugel Gourmet Cooks With Wine). I used to use them quite a lot before I got a pellet grill. I also have Volumes 1 and 2 of The Gourmet Cookbook that my Dad really liked and used a lot.
Time to dust off the old cookbooks and see what I can come up with for the grill!

Thomas Keller can cook! How difficult are his cookbooks to follow along with?

Let's just say I hope you can follow directions. Cryptic directions. But you are right the man can cook!

Well I read the thread title clearly this time ;0)
The Santa Fe School of Cooking Cookbook is a real gem
The Ancho Chicken is a favorite

The French Laundry book is definitely not a cookbook for someone who is just learning to cook, but it is cool all the methods and tools he uses to achieve his dishes, I think you would like it Scooter. Ad Hoc is much more user friendly in terms of following along.

My wife has this book from her college days:
It's a big cookbook, is still available & packed full of good stuff from baking to roasting, frying, you name it.

Is it as expensive to own as French Laundry is to eat in??? lol
Seriously must be intensly good food to be able to charge $270 per person for the prix fixe menu. Some day I'll be able to take the wife there. It's just the Scotsman in me that is holding me back from paying $600 for a dinner for two. That kind of meal is more an experience than a meal.
