Question:

What is a good beginner cookbook that also has healthy/easy recipes?

I want to start cooking but every time I look for recipes they either need a bunch of ingredients or they seem too overwhelming. I also want to start eating a little healthier so any book with very tasty yet healthy recipes would be a plus. Please let me know of any basic, easy, and healthy cookbooks.


Answers:
Cooking for Dummies is one of my faves. I also subscribe to Cook's Country Magazine. They have a lot of helpful tips, and they describe *why* things in the recipes work so you can learn to create dishes on your own.

the joy of cookings great I recieved
it as a wedding gift. rachael rays books are good to
for starting out but not the healthiest.

Best bet is a Betty Crocker cookbook. I have tons of cookbooks and I am a good cook, but when trying something new I always refer to it.

Rachael Ray has several that use few ingredients and also use ingredients already cooked.
Before you buy a cook book, go to a book store and look and the instructions; when I first moved out and didn't know how to cook, I mistakenly bought a cook book that said : cook until done ( clues !! I needed clues !! 5 minutes or an hour and a half? ).

My favorite cookbooks that I always use are the New Better Homes and Gardens and
Betty Crocker.
Actually I wore out my BH&G from 1972 and got a new one in 2005, I also bought my newlywed daughter one for Christmas in 2006.
