My favorite cookbook is Rachael Ray 365: No Repeats, by Rachael Ray. I have owned this book for about 3 years. Since the time I've purchased it I've referred to it several times a week sometimes. I purchased this cookbook during college for quick meal ideas that were affordable and still tasty. That is the real reason I am so in love with the book. There are so many great ideas for people with busy schedules, and little money.
