Ferran Adria (some say the world's greatest/most innovative chef) just came out with a new cookbook called The Family Meal, it's a cookbook that has 31, 3 course meals (appetizer, entree, dessert), which can be made cheaply and are very unique.

For example: Potatoes & Green Beans with Chantilly, Quail with Couscous, and Caramelized Pears

Amazon has the book for only $16.50 and it's this beautiful 380 page hardcover book. I just got it a few days ago and it's a pretty amazing book that's well worth the price

You should consider buying this fantastic cookbook which contains staff meal recipes from El Bulli, The famous, now closed, restaurant in Spain.

There are around 30 complete meals, with appetizer, main entree, and dessert, with beautiful photograph illustrations, and quantities for 2, 6, 20, or 75 people.

I love this book.

Ferran Adria's home cookbook. It's a great book, broken up into a series of meals. Each one is a starter, entrée and dessert around a theme, and the recipes range from the intense (that Mexican style pork...) to the downright derpy (potato chip omelet. Guess the 2 ingredients.)

It's a great cookbook, and hey, if you need the recipe for 2, 6 or 75, he includes the breakdown.

Decolonize Your Diet - Vegan Mexican with an emphasis on pre-Columbian ingredients

Bought, Borrowed, and Stolen - Interesting recipes from the around world and a lot of talk about the most basic cooking tool, the knife. That + the broad style of cooking included might make it a good starter book.

The Family Meal - Actually useful recipes from super obnoxious-fancy chef Ferran Adria but with step-by-step pictures that are really helpful.

Moosewood Cookbook - Classic cookbook of vegetarian dishes.

This comes in at $20.46!

Don't get it for me because I'm going to cook meals from it for my family and friends ALL THE TIME and I'm going to get FAT and die of butter overconsumption. Spare me from that fate, please!

I would suggest The Family Meal - by Ferran Adria. The book is split into about 30 three piece meals (entree, main, dessert) and the beginning of each meal has a 2 page spread showing all ingredients needed, a table scaling the recipe for 2-60 people, and what you'd find most helpful, a timeline for cooking. The following pages are step by step pictures so you know what things should actually look like. Even though this is Ferran Adria, all these can be made at home with things bought at your local store. No need for hydrocoloids or scientific equipment.

There is no better cookbook to get than The Family Meal. Recipes are simple, illustrated with step-by-step photos, and is based around preparing healthy and delicious three-course meals on a budget.

Perhaps its best feature is there is a timeline for each meal; for instance, it tells you when to start soaking dried mushrooms, when to start the meat, etc. in relation to when you expect to eat. This one cookbook has almost supplanted every other cookbook I use.

You should look at The Family Meal by Ferran Adria. It's about all the staff meals prepared at El Bulli, and the recipes can be scaled for 2 to 75 people.
