Another nice one, which is a great read and is full of very simple (and tasty) recipes is Helen Nearing’s Simple Food for the Good Life.

The Alice Walters book looks interesting. Is it strictly recipes or is there more “theory” and narrative?
Have you read “In Defense of Food” by Michael Pollan? I highly recommend it. For me, it is a very good theoretical and generically practical read.
On the very practical side, I reference “World’s Healthiest Foods” by George Mateljan daily. It has transformed the way I cook.
