Some of these are from last year's list (Close to order by preference):
-Charcuterie: The Craft of Salting, Smoking, and Curing by Ruhlman, Polcyn, and Keller (This one is a must have if I don't get any other. If I don't have the right one, somebody please tell me.)
-Fast Food My Way by Jacques Pepin (I have the second one and love it.)
-Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home by Julia Child and Jacques Pepin (I'v heard this is the best one, if I can't get her Mastering the Art)
-Nigella Express by Nigella Lawson (Jean has mentioned so many successes with this one and I have another of her books and love it.)
-Delights and Prejudices by James Beard (I would LOVE to have another biography to enjoy...it's been a while.)
-Bite Size: Elegant recipes for Entertaining (Francois Payard) (We DO love our appy dinners.)
-Cooking by James Peterson (I have heard from many, this is a must have. I have his sauces book and LOVE it!)
-Epicurean Delight - The Life and Times Of James Beard by Judith Jones
-Love and Kisses and a Halo Of Truffles ; Letters To Helen Evans Brown by James Beard (Lorraine recommended these two last year. I do love my biographies.)
-Asian Tapas ; Small bites, Big Flavours (Alain Ducasse) (Another appy delight)
-Sushi Made Easy, Nobuko Tsuda (I would really like to have fun with this, but would be willing to wait for Mother's Day on this one, so I can play over summer!)

You will love Ina's Back to Basics. I am making the company Pot Roast tonight (to have tomorrow) if I ever get off the computer. Silpats at Costco, hmm, maybe a trip tomorrow.
I am so trying to be good since I still have 3 cookbooks I have not even opened once yet. But I really want the new Thomas Keller Ad Hoc at Home. I hate putting on a list and have folks pay more when I can get it for $12.95 at BONC2. Decisions, Decisions.
