Can you please tell me a healthy cookbook that’s not too complicated?

Do you have any healthy cookbooks that are your 'bibles' that you could advise me to buy? I am not overly skilled in the kitchen, so am looking for something for an 'intermediate' cook.

I agree it’s overwhelming choosing the right recipe book, which is why I have put one together. Eating For The Seasons will be out later this year. I have separated the recipes into sections - breakfast, lunch, soup, sides, dinner, sweet things and drinks and then put them into the appropriate season. All of the recipes are super easy, using no fancy techniques. These recipes are for anyone who wants to cook healthy meals easily and quickly at home.  

Until then why not use your search engine? Any recipe you want is only a few clicks away. For example, if you want a low fat/high protein dinner that takes less than 10 minutes to cook that’s just what you’ll find. If you feel like a gluten-free Indian meal, then chances are you’ll find hundreds of recipes.   

I don’t see the point in having dozens of recipe books (apart from the fact that they are usually so visually pleasing) that just don‘t get used. I haven‘t been a recipe book user but I have found inspiration in the following:
Saha by Greg Malouf (Lebanese food)
The Millennium Cookbook by Eric Tucker (vegan food)
Nurture by Aine McAteer

Yes the Symply Too good to be true cookbooks are really easy and everyday meals, for the family, being australian no complicated measurements to convert and decipher what they mean for ingrediants...All low fat, suitable for most diabetics too, I love mine.

I have found the 'Symply too good to be true' cookbooks very good and, because they are Australian, don't have to change measurements or temperature settings
