I live in B.C., Canada. I have only recently gotten involved in cooking due to the fact the deadline to move out of my parents place is closing in on me! My all time favorite cookbook? That would have to be my grandmothers self compiled one. It has recipes from her mothers day (I don't like the roast pigion... although small birds taste nice... :S) I will be going to U.K. in a year, so I must find some good fish recipes that smother the taste of the actual fish!
