I’ve just started scrolling and was thrilled to see the Moosewood cookbook included. It was the second cookbook I purchase, after Joy of Cooking (of course). And of course I still have The Silver Palate.
My mom loved to cook and she read cookbooks like we read novels. She had a floor to ceiling bookshelf of just cookbooks. I’m only saved a few of them, but I bet she had a bunch from the list.
Off to see which other ones are on the list.

I have and use Joy of Cooking, especially for technique information, and our all time favorite pancake recipe comes from it. My copies of Moosewood Cookbook and The Silver Palate Cookbook are in my sister's massive cookbook collection now. I have a couple Ottolenghi cookbooks and use his websites heavily for recipes but don't own Jerusalem.
A few on the list intrigue me like the An Invitation to Indian Cooking, Japanese Cooking: A Simple Art and Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking and I might see if they are at the library.
The list is an odd mix of skill/technique, single cuisine and restaurant books IMHO.
I'm a little surprised Ina Garten isn't on it and I'd add Charles Phan's Vietnamese Home Cooking.

Essentials of Italian Cooking has the BEST bolognese sauce. Oh my gosh it is sooo good. |

I didn’t see the Better Homes & Garden’s book on that list (maybe I overlooked it), but everyone I know owned that one at some point

I have 3 of the books:
Mastering the Art of French Cooking
Baking with Julia
The Joy of Cooking
I have a few cookbooks from celebrity chefs. Now I mainly use the internet for recipes. Every single America's Test Kitchen recipe has been good.
My favorite food to eat is French food. Dh likes it, but it can be very rich. So, I don't make it anymore.

I love cookbooks and I have a lot of them but the only one from that list I ever had was The Joy of Cooking. I gave it away years ago. I'm a very good cook but those books aren’t my style.

I have on their way to me right now the Kennedy book on Mexican cuisine and the Jubilee black cooking, along with the Tuscan Sun cookbook and a British Bakeoff dessert cookbook. Ready to add some new things to my rotation! I love this thread  Thanks for sharing it. |

The Moosewood cookbook has the best falafel recipe.
I also love her “Vegetable Dishes I Can’t Live Without “ cookbook - it has an amazing arugula pesto recipe. It’s soooo good smothered on crispy bread.

I dont know that I would call those the Most Influential Cookbooks. They are a carefully curated list covering a wide variety of cuisines for sure. I have heard of a few, but own none.
