The words "healthy eating" have become so buzzy that they've almost lost their meaning. To get it back, we reached out to a handful of nutritionists and dietitians with one simple question: What cookbooks do you turn to for healthful, balanced recipes? Below, you'll find their recommendations (plus some of our personal Delish favorites!). Whether you're looking to eat more veggies, cut down on processed foods, or try a vegan lifestyle, these books will help—in the most delicious way possible. Shopping for more cookbooks? We can help. Shop our editor-approved round-ups including the best cookbooks of 2020, the best cookbooks by black authors, the best vegetarian cookbooks, the best Korean cookbooks, the best Mexican cookbooks, and the best cookbooks for kids. 1 Vegetable Kingdom bookshop.org $27.60 "In an effort to eat clean and be healthy, eating more vegetables is definitely a must," says Leslie Fajfar, Chief Managing Consultant of Commu...

Leith’s Cookery Bible, by Caroline Waldegrave and Prue Leith Gizzi Erskine, chef and food writer I trained at Leith’s School of Food and Wine and this book has every base recipe you could possibly think of in its most pure form, which allows you to be playful with it. It’s been invaluable to me – whenever I’m redeveloping something, it will always be on my table for reference. It’s useful when you need the quantities for making a proper jus, for example, or the recipe for a perfect hollandaise, and for getting to grips with cooking terminology. World Vegetarian, by Madhur Jaffrey Melissa Hemsley, chef and cookbook author When I was about 19, I went to Devon with vegetarian friends who brought a battered copy of this book and started cooking from it. When we left, they forgot to take the book with them – so I kept it. It’s ginormous and has no pictures, which can be off-putting, but Jaffrey’s writing sucks you in and there are loads of great recipes you can make using everyday ingre...

By Ellie Abel  |  KNOXBORO KNOTES Our Knoxboro Community Church is currently sponsoring a community effort to develop a new traditional cookbook. We are seeking vintage, tried and true recipes and they are being sampled at our monthly church gathering on the last Sunday of each month right after the 10:30 a.m. church service. We have lots of data to consider for inclusion in the cookbook and we are currently accepting artwork and having a Cookbook Cover Contest with the deadline for entries extended to October 30. Prizes will be awarded for artwork and the winner of the Cookbook Cover Contest will win $50. A 1953 Women’s Society of Christian Service (WSCS) cookbook called the “Cookbook of Favorite Recipes” was found in a box lot of auction items purchased recently. It’s a treasure because it contains many old fashioned and tasty recipes gathered by the women of the WSCS of the Parkside Methodist Church in Vernon Center. The cookbook is also a bit of a historic record sinc...

Each product we feature has been independently selected and reviewed by our editorial team. If you make a purchase using the links included, we may earn commission. Cookbook releases are as much of a fall constant as cooler weather and changing leaves. Each year brings a new crop (or harvest, if you’ll allow us to have multiple puns) to appreciate, whether it’s a baking book that gets you to turn on your oven after a sweltering summer, or a collection of cocktail recipes encouraging you to mix up (quite literally) your usual routine. Last year alone saw Toni-Tipton Martin’s Jubilee , Angie Mar’s Butcher & Beast , and a revised edition of the much-beloved The Joy of Cooking hit the market—this season, we’re making room in our bookcases once again. And by the end of it all, we might need to add more shelves.  After weeks of gathering recommendations from our editors, we’ve come up with a list of 50 (yes, 50 !) books, spanning late August all the way to mid-November. Th...
