Any recommendations for good whole foods type cookbooks?

[Jean in Newcastle]

Vegetarian is ok but I'd like one that includes some meals for carnivores too (whole foods carnivores that is;))

[Jean in Newcastle]

Trying again. Any suggestions anyone?!

Whole Foods for the Whole Family and Nourishing Traditions. I check them out of the library, but I use them enough that I really should purchase...

I second both of those. I use Nourishing Traditions more. I finally after YEARS of checking NT out from the library bought my own copy. I think it was on my shelf more than theirs.:(

The Le Leche League cookbook is excellent. All of the other whole-foods type cookbooks I have are vegetarian (my favorite probably being The Essential Vegetarian-we're not vegetarians, btw).

I got a great cookbook that I really love. It's called "Simply in Season" by Mary Beth Lind.
It's focuses are whole foods, less meat, some vegetarian, simple ingredients, and seasonal ingredients.
The recipes are in five sections, Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter and All Year Long. There are even "breakfast" recipes and "lunch" recipes, "bread and desert" recipes, even sides and extras. The book is a community cookbook in that the recipes are submitted from all over. If I'm not mistaken the Mennonite community has put the together. It's a bit out to the "Less is More Tradition" but I think the recipes are less budget oriented and more fresh and whole foods oriented.
The best is that we've tried a number for recipes from the fall and winter section and we haven't found a bad on yet.

Here's a sampling of the Winter choices
Nutty Sweet Potato Waffles
Curried Vegetable Bisque
Turkey Barley Soup
Apple Carrot Salad
Red Taters and Green Grannies
Apple Rice Stuffing
Black Bean Sweet Potaton Burritos
Marrakesh Lamb Stew
Hazelnut Coffee Brownies
Carrot Cookies
and Secret Chocolate Cake

There are even suggestion for seasonal menus.

Can you tell I'm really excited about this book? This one is in my kitchen, my other 100 cookbooks are on the shelf in the libary. THIS ONE is in my kitchen!
:D

Amish cookbooks are usually 'whole food' ones. ;)

More With Less comes to mind....

Thank you everyone! I was able to order all of these at my library. I can't wait to find them on my hold shelf!

[Arch At Home]

In addition to these I like How to Cook without the Book and books from the Saving Dinner series.

You probably have your hands full with all those books from the library, but if you want some additional ideas at some point consider What to Eat by Marian Nestle (pronounced "nessle"....not like the big corp.). Also, I like to Google stuff like this and see what shows up on Amazon. I don't know any of these books (http://www.amazon.com/Whole-Foods-Market-Cookbook/dp/0609806440) personally but it's always interesting to see what other customers buy and how they rate them

Good luck!

This cookbook is simply the "bees knees"! (In other words, I really like it!) We had Nutty Sweet Potato Waffles this morning. Heavenly! Look for this cookbook at your library!

I am getting ready to try to find some Susan Gregg cookbook, which are supposed to be very good and practical to help your family make the change with less pain and complaining. These have been highly recommended to me. She also has a web site that you can find easily by Googling.

It makes a lot of sense when grocery shopping. Thanks for sharing! I will try it.
