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. :)


My only complaint about the textbook is needing to scale every recipe down to half or even a quarter. While I would love to bake a whole sheet of brownies my roommates and girlfriend already complain about the amount of delicious carbs I throw their way!
