Hi, I'm looking for some cookbook recommendations. AI and SEO slop have kinda killed my trust for most things on the internet, and I figure it might be handy to have some physical books in case it gets even worse. Also would be nice to have at least one book for low-carb recipes (my roommate is diabetic) and a book for vegetarian recipes. If any of you have cookbooks you love, I'd appreciate your recommendations!

Edit:

Thank you all, I ended up ordering:

  • Food Lab
  • Joy of Cooking
  • Complete Mediterranean Cookbook
  • Better Homes & Gardens New Cookbook

If I could have ordered one more, it probably would have been Night + Market. :)

I had it as a textbook in culinary school, as do many people, and it’s the one I still routinely use. The recipes are rock solid. I use it mostly for very basic things, but I routinely get requests for those recipes, sometimes even from other chefs.

I also have a copy of an old King Arthur’s cookbook from the 80s that I find similarly useful and robust. Very seldom do I need a staple baking recipe that I can’t find from those two.
