One of my resolutions this year is to cook more - to take control of my diet, instead of eating lots of junk food and frozen dinners. I have found that the simplest way to handle this is to fix something big at the beginning of the week and make several meals of it. Casseroles, stews, things that stretch....
I have a fair number of cookbooks, but it would be nice to extend my repertoire. I've got: Joy of Cooking; The Moosewood Cookbook and a couple of its sequels; several rather slender ethnic cookbooks - Italian, Greek, Scottish; and some generic (and likewise slender) books with titles like Cooking with Spices and Herbs. Given the kinds of recipes that I'm looking for, does anyone have any recommendations for other cookbooks? Other ethnicities than the ones I've named would be particularly nice (Indian? Middle Eastern?), but generics would also be useful.
