I know it sounds trite, but the Betty Crocker cookbook is a goldmine of
"basic" recipes. It doesn't say much about kosher, but it's loaded with
information about affordable, easy, and nutritious meals. Although I own
more than 100 cookbooks, I think that the three I use the most are Craig
Claiborne (for recipes), Joy of Cooking (for information about ingredients),
and Betty Crocker (for everyday stuff). If you don't mind being spoken to
like a 10-year-old, Good Housekeeping publishes a magnificent children's
cookbook, aimed at sub-teenagers, that has about 30 easy, cheap, and simple
recipes in it. Just because a 10-year-old can cook it doesn't mean that you
need to be ashamed to try. I've probably tried 30% of the recipes in the
children's cookbook. They're fun!
