A Harvest of Healing Foods by,  Christine McFadden and Kathleen Zelman

Your Organic Kitchen by, Jesse Ziff Cool and Lisa Koenig  - this book "goes through each season and the foods that grow in that season so you know when you are grocery shopping that something had 'help' to grow since it's out of season.  And then has recipes for each season and the foods that grow then."

The Lutece Cookbook- Alsace-Lorraine region of France. Good simple recipes.

The Fannie Farmer Cookbook  (Is anyone else here old enough to know what this is?  I think there may be modernized ones out now . . . but I like my mother's old one.  Some of the recepies are outdated ("look for marbled meats," etc) but it's a really good basic simple home-cooking cookbook.) Another member says, "We are on our second copy of this one now. The first one was used so much it fell to pieces! This is a good bridal shower gift for a young couple without a lot of kitchen experience."
