Cookbook suggestions?

[SeekingSimplicity]

I don't know if such a thing exist, but I'd like to have a good whole food cookbook that doesn't include a lot of fish, shellfish, soy, or nuts in recipes. Those are things we can't have and it seems to be what a lot of cookbooks I've seen include.

 

I'm also keeping an eye out for a low carb cookbook that does not include those foods either. I mean, if there's a couple recipes in there it's fine, but not half the book. YKWIM?

I don't know about all your criteria, but More with Less is very whole foods and very usable.

Thank you! I'll check that one out. :)

I love the American Heart Association Cookbooks. They do all have a section featuring fish, but there are plenty of recipes without it. My favorite is the Low Sodium cookbook.

Mollie Katzen of the Moosewood fame has a few really good cookbooks. Her older ones, Enchanted Broccoli Forest is more vegetarian in nature. Her latest cookbook, here

 

http://www.amazon.com/Get-Cooking-ebook/dp/B002QHATLK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1262802324&sr=8-1

is really good. A nice basic cookbook, not geared totally toward vegetarians.

 

I personally am not impressed with my copy of More with Less. I don't know...it's just not looking too appealing to me.

 

My favorite cookbook is here

http://www.amazon.com/Americas-Kitchen-Cookbook-Heavy-Duty-Revised/dp/193361501X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1262802452&sr=1-1

It's more a cookbook I think for a normal diet eating family, not high in fat necessarily but includes stuff like spaghetti and meatballs.

 

When dh and I are on the healthy kick, it's the Nava Atlas, Mollie Katzen, Veganmicon, Whole Foods Cookbook

http://www.amazon.com/Whole-Foods-Market-Cookbook-Natural/dp/0609806440/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1262802522&sr=1-1

type stuff.

Pm me if those aren't enough suggestions.

I'm food, cookbook, meal planning crazy over here. Searching for that elusive meal plan - healthy, easy, cheap and yummy. Can't seem to get em all in the mix.

Thanks! I'll check into those. We can't have peanuts, treenuts, soy, fish, shellfish, wheat and gluten so it's hard to find recipes we can use. One is free of soy, but has wheat, or nuts or what ever. But we can for the most part, have meat and veggies. I'm looking for new ideas because we've gotten so bored with everything we eat.

I love Food to Live By....It does have a large section on breakfast and pastas, but also has great recipes for salads, meats, veges, and wonderful soups.

Sue Gregg's series is very accessible as far as inexpensive, common whole food ingredients go...
