I was looking through my cookbooks and could not believe how high in both fat and cal the recipes are. 

Now I love to cook and try new dishes and share with friends and family and looking for healthy cookbooks ( not diet books) suggestions? 

I would love if the cal and macros were also provided for each dish. 

Thanks

    I like the website suggestions -- I like eatingwell too.

    Have you tried the Canadian Living cookbooks? I like that they label all the calories and provide breakdowns of the recipes, and have little icons above recipes to flag the ones that are healthier choices. I also really like Donna Hay's cookbooks.

    I didn't know they had cookbooks, love the magazine.

    The cookbooks are great. They do have a ton of recipes on their website, too, if you want to check them before buying anything.

    I love this one. It is vegetarian and health-minded. I am not vegetarian, but the recipes are very tasty. My favorite section is the soups, especially the herbed carrot soup!
