Can anyone recommend any recipe books, I like to have recipes in front of me?

I'm interested in different ways of cooking oats, high protein recipes, especially sweet treats, dairy free recipes, and generally low calorie meal ideas but would like a book as I tend to get lost online and end up unable to make a decision with the millions of recipes available!

    i dont have a book to recommend. i have a notebook that i write down any recipe that i find online. then i "fix it" to match my needs. I also leave one whole page just for that recipe so i can make notes incase i change something or do things different.

    Go to www.skinnytaste.com
    If you look on the right hand side down the page a little and you choose different food categories. I have never made anything from Gina's website that wasn't delicious. Plus she is coming out with a
    Hardcover cook book in November if that's more your thing.
    I print out recipes I find there or on other websites and put them in a binder- but I'm a little OCD with my organizing tendencies.
    -At least check that site out, it's a great source in one location.

    Skinnytaste does have some good ones. I've been cooking from Eat This Not That/ Cook This Not That books since college. All the recipes are delicious and easy! You may be able to get some from the ETNT website. Also, Half Price Books always has a good selection of ETNTs to pick from!

    I love this recipe album. It takes paper printouts, newspaper clippings, what have you.

    I pulled an old favourite out the other day. But most of the time these days I google ingredients and try something new.

    Skinny Taste does have an actual cookbook too.

    Cooking Light has lots of cookbooks as well as a magazine.
