Cookbooks to Crush On!

Are you a cookbook fiend?
Do you head straight to the cookbook section after grabbing your chai latte at Barnes and Noble? Do you regularly take several cookbooks to bed to read, marking pages with stickee notes and dreaming about what dish you'll make next? Do you always have some kind of cook book in the back seat of your car or in the trunk? Do you spend plenty of "couch-time" with a stack of cookbooks to keep you company? Me too!

Today I'm sharing with you a list of some of my very favorite cookbooks. Also, there's a list of the ones I'm currently craving (did you hear that Santa?) Perhaps you'll get inspired to add a new one to your collection or get some good ideas for holiday shopping.
I'd love to hear from you...what well-loved cookbooks do you turn to again and again?
