Hi,

I want to purchase a cook book geared toward healthy recipes. Anyone have a favorite they use? I'm open to both non veg and vegetarian cookbooks. I'm interested in soups, slow cooker stews, pasta dishes, stir fry, snacks, etc.

You know what I want? A cookbook that is exclusively side dishes. Emphasis on veggies. Or, is there a CSA cookbook out there, I heard there was. I am so tired of getting healthy cookbooks that are all desserts or mixing in and out of season stuff. I need 99 ways to make zucchini.

I use only two cookbooks for nearly everything.

This is one.

This is the other.

Blah blah blah, I have both.

You really find that much good in Joy of Cooking?

I am a cookbook nut. I collect them and then hardly ever use any of them.

Imagine how it is when you cook for a living....... What I write off in Cookbooks alone every year is astounding, yet most of them are in my bookcases, un-read!

Joy is good for quick breads, biscuits and pancakes. That is about all I use it for.

I'll read them. Sometimes I'll curl up on a couch and read them cover to cover. Its like porn for foodies.

I use Joy all the time for baking and almost never for anything else, unless I'm trying to figure out how to filet a squirrel or some other sort of random knowledge.
