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 suggestion is The Food Lab: Better Home Cooking Through Science. While it has recipes, there's also a lot of discussion about why the recipes work- which translates into other recipes very well
