I love cookbooks but the celebrity chef cook books are expensive and not suitable for day to day cooking. Any good cook books at affordable price? :roll:

You could go to Your Local fete. Or browse online. Also there are some good cooking apps. Some chefs post recipes on Facebook. Happy cooking

I find the women's weekly cook books are reasonable priced around $10 and the recipes use ingredients that most people have in their cupboard. I have several of these and they don't disappoint

I like the Fix It and Forget It line of cookbooks. They are meant for your crockpot/slow cooker. Many to choose from and very affordable. You can find used on eBay and Amazon.

Happy Stress-Free Cooking! :wink2:

I've heard good things about the Fix it and Forget it books.

I don't know many (any) new cookbooks. I bet something by Jacques Pepin would be good. He reviewed lots of techniques on his cooking shows.

I always check out the 2nd hand book stores for my cookbooks. I just got two dessert books for $2 each, original price $12 each. Plus since they usually have a few copies, you can pick out the one in the best condition for the same price usually.

I don't have a specific suggestion, but I often find some great stuff in charity shops! If you're apprehensive about buying a cookbook from there for whatever reason... I would look out for magazines! A lot have some excellent suggestions in there for super cheap.

I've had great luck finding cookbooks at my local library's book sales. Never pay more than $1.00. Last time I got a cookbook specializing in soups. Lots of great recipes and a whole section on the best way to make different kinds of soup.

I think youtube is the best place to get the recipes from. MK for baking, there also one guy I love but sadly can't find his account.
