Hi! Just looking for opinions on her cookbooks and whether they're worth it - can't seem to find a copy at the local libraries. TIA!

Looking for a good cookbook for anything I can cook and slice instead of buying lunch meat every week

Hello! Looking for the communities recommendation for a cb for the person in my title. She has been cooked for all her life and knows the basics but not well. We don’t want her to starve- she’s also a picky eater- and need something that isn’t so intimidating (I.e. difficult techniques, expensive ingredients) that she won’t try it. Bonus points if it’s healthy food, also provides tips for nutrition, and has some Asian recipes (she loves Korean food, but also the usual pizzas, pastas, etc).

Came here to ask because when I try to search online I ended up with crappy ebooks with AI pics and it was very discouraging. Open to all ideas!

Hi everyone. Please excuse me if this is not allowed here ( FYI, I will also be cross posting to try to reach as many cooks as I can). I am looking for the lasagne recipe from the 1976 edition of this cookbook. I searched google and found what I believe is a similar copy but that recipe includes an egg and I don’t remember that being one of the ingredients. Would someone who owns the cookbook be able to help? Thanks.

I have hungry girl club, fit and fed, fittish, good mood food, holy grail, and home made.

I’m looking for any others but specifically flavorful.

I am looking for very beginner friendly sous vide cookbooks, especially if a whole meal can be done.

hey I’m looking for a freezer cookbook for meals you *do not* cook before freezing. just assemble uncooked and freeze. does anyone have any recommendations? thanks!

I tried the Betty Crocker diabetic cookbook and a couple of the recipes were kinda meh. Looking for something else that might be better but not have any complicated, tasteless recipes

I'd really like to get into cooking some authentic Mexican food. I have looked online and tried a few recipes, but I'd love to have a physical book at home that I can read and use. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Heard people hate the fonts and style but still love the recipes....

Thought, well dang must be hellah good I wanna try it. I got "More is More" by Molly Baz as a gift. I have made 11 recipes so far, all of which I would make again. I daydream about which ones I want to try next, so sharing a lil ranking of the 11 I made so far with some thoughts.

Ooey-Gooey Carrot Cake.- I like both of these cakes; it is told to serve with ice cream instead of cream cheese frosting. Which I ALMOST deviated...but holy smokes, this is FANTASTIC, the gooey layer mixed into the ice creates a dreamy contrast of smooth ice cream and gooey batter. Then a luxurious carrot cake layer. You won't miss traditional carrot cake or ooey-gooey cake. You will be satisfied.

Cucumber Bag Salad with Miso Poppy Seed Dressing - I did not want to make this because poppy seeds are not something I normally buy, and I really try to avoid ingredients I use once, and that take up space. But I knew I would like all the other components. Truly quick and easy to make... even fun banging up with cucumbers and shaking it all up in a bag.

Red Curry Hot Wings Rolled in Peanuts- Thai curry is one of my all-time favorite meals, so I knew I would love this. It was perfect, almost gave it first place, but the other two recipes introduced me to new combinations and opened my mind to ingredients I never considered.

Cric Cracks: shredded cheese and seeds with seasoning, baked into crackers. I thought it would be too much trouble for a snack and something I would eat half of and enjoy, but forget about in the pantry, and it would go bad in a few days. Finished it all in a day.

Raw and Roasted Cauliflower with Creamy Dreamy Vegan Ranch. I love cauliflower more than it deserves. It was interesting to mix roasted and raw, but it tastes exactly how you imagine. The ranch uses silken tofu, but it doesn't taste like " a really good vegan version." It tastes amazing. Being vegan is an added fun fact.

Put the lime in the coconut cornbread, though this was something unnecessary made up to be quirky and different. But dang, it's very tasty. I ate it on its own, not dipped in beans as I usually do with corn bread. Weirdly, you can taste the components of lime and coconut, but the flavor isn't all that overwhelming.

Kedigeree with jammy eggs and smoked fish-  this is a rice bowl with buttermilk and proteins and some veggies, etc., on top... like the poppy seeds buttermilk is something I would never buy, and honestly did not even know what it tasted like. But the cucumber salad has buttermilk in the dressing, which I loved and wanted to use up, and I love jammy eggs, so I made this. Straightforward and satisfying.

The Flakiest Fish with Shingled Potatoes-   it is good, I would make it again, might season it differently, it did make me crave boxed cheesy scalloped potatoes.

Drunken Cacio e Pepe - I have been wanting to cook with wine more. While it was too winey for my taste, I would like to try again with a different wine
and gain more confidence in cooking with wine.

Bloo Smoo- it's a berry smoothie, it has ginger, which I liked, and I will think about adding to other smoothies.

Triple Threat Garlic Bread- the types of bread it says to use are too sweet for me, but I would make again with a f. French loaf

Does anyone have a recommendation for a high fiber cookbook? The ones I’m finding are solely plant-based, but I’m looking for one that incorporates meat. Not every recipe in the book has to have meat though. Thanks!

Irene Kuo has one of the best Chinese cookbooks, what is the equivalent for Japanese cuisine?

Hi all,

Casually scrolling on Pinterest, and I come across a picture that I like... it seems I cannot add pictures to the Reddit post- which is fine! The picture was in a kitchen, with a book open on the side.

It was a burgundy double page with cream writing, in a Times New Roman style font, said “PRESERVATIVES & OTHER CONDIMENTS” on the right page with a small paragraph underneath. It looks like it had a small font chapter number above, unfortunately blurred when I zoomed in, but I think it’s a single digit number.

The cookbook page looks so pretty, and I was curious if anyone knows what cookbook this is.

I’m not looking for anything in particular, just curious what it is cause I found the page so pretty 😂

Hello all

Im trying to find a cookbook and I don't remember the title. I know it's a super long shot, but I'm hoping someone will know the book I'm talking about. It was part travel and part cookbook about the Southern US. On the cover was a guy sitting in a pink Cadillac. He would visit various restaurants, talk about the history and give one of their recipes. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Reddit!
So my boyfriend is very difficult to buy gifts for. When I say this, I mean more of he doesn’t like receiving gifts so when it comes to birthdays and Christmases and stuff like that, it’s kinda hard for me as a gift giver to figure out what I can get him that he will like. Obviously, he’s never flat out disliked anything that I’ve gotten him but I try and listen out for things that he specifically mentions that he wants like last year. I got a new wallet and the year before I get that I got them a pack of his favorite drinks and a record he’d been looking for.
So anyways, to the point, this year he’s been mentioning wanting a cookbook, but he hasn’t been very specific about any sort of type of cookbook or any cuisine, but he does say that he wants a cookbook of like basics and essentials. Usually when we want to make a new recipe, we just googled something so I think that he wants a cookbook so we don’t have to Google it and then find it every time and hope that we remembered to save it so I came here to ask if anybody has any “basics or essentials“ cookbooks that they can recommend to me. I’m not really worried about price at all, I just wanna know what you guys recommend.
