My copy of Julia Child's _Mastering the Art of French Cooking_ vol 1, it's signed by Julia and her husband. My dad found it at a garage sale for $5!! I have both volumes.

My iPad. All our family recipes are now in Paprika. I only buy cookbooks in the Kindle edition. Just be careful with Paprika. I had tons of my recipes on there too. I went to look for something a few weeks ago and they are all gone. Poof. Nowhere to be found. I sent an email to their contact and have not heard a word. I have to follow up.

I have them residing on my iPad, my iPhone and my Mac mini. They won't disappear from all three homes simultaneously. Did you only store them in the cloud? Or did you have resident copies on your devices and only used the cloud for back up and syncs?

Probably the binder that has my go to recipes in it.. Ones I file that make the repeat list.... As much as I would want to save my Pioneer Woman ones, I could buy those again. I do have my grandma's (not HER copy) but from her church cookbook but I don't ever use it much.

My notebook with all my handwritten family favorites and hand-me-downs would be the first one I grab.
But Oh she glows would be my choice from my commercial cookbooks. Vegan recipes that even meateaters love!

My grandma's handwritten recipes. Everything else can be replaced.

I don't really use cookbooks. More of an experimental, google it to get an idea, useless cook. Probably why my kitchen is on fire 😀😀😀

My orange Betty Crocker -- from ... 1973 maybe ... but also jammed with paper recipes and cards from various people and times.

My River Road Recipes cookbook from the 70s. It is published annually (i think) by the Junior League of Baton Rouge and it has the best South Louisiana recipes.

The Bread Maker's Apprentice - though it really feels more like a textbook than a cookbook.

I don't use cookbooks any more, but for sentimentality, probably the school cookbook that my mom and neighbors contributed recipes to over the years. My mom has a well worn copy and my neighbor who was in charge of printing the book found several unsold copies a couple years ago and gave me one, that book is at least 30 years old. This makes me think I should photograph the pages and store it online in case I want to make an 80s era recipe :-)

I would grab my mom's old, beat to hell 1950's cookbook that I absolutely adore. I could never leave that one. My signed copy of Mrs. Wilke's Boarding House recipes would be very hard to leave behind, but the one I grew up with would definitely win out.

This question is too hard! I'm a cookbook collector. I read them like novels!
The cooks in my family were just 'eh' in the kitchen. Mostly fried foods for people who had work in heavy labor jobs (ranching, foresters, game rangers), so the value in recipes from them are the handwritten ones that'd I'd like to have down the line.
Other than that, I also have a set of Julia Child cookbooks I'd drag out. Everything else is replaceable.

It would be my Fannie Farmer Jr. Cookbook which my grandmother gave me in 1973.
My grandmother wrote a sweet note to me on the inside cover.
The book is full of all sorts of practical information like how to boil eggs and how to fry bacon.
It also has some great simple recipes for things like egg salad.
I used that cookbook for years. Even when I was first married and making deviled eggs for the first time, I pulled out my Fannie Farmer Jr. Cookbook.

Barbara Swain's "Cookery for 1 or 2," which has been out of print for decades, and my mother's recipe box.

My 1960s era Betty Crocker. My mom got a copy when she married my dad in 1964, and essentially learned to cook from it. By the time I showed up it had no cover and was taped together but eventually I learned to cook from it too. I looked for a copy for YEARS, finally found one at a garage sale for a quarter. I about died and giggled all the way home. We make several things from it, including cookies, pancakes and it's still my go to when cooking meat.
