Healthy recipe sources

Over the last 20 weeks or so, I’ve gotten quite a lot of useful information from my dietitian about making healthy choices in terms of diet. What follows are some additional sources she recommended to me for learning to cook healthier.

Cookbooks

Note: some of the cookbooks recommended here may not emphasize low glycemic foods, and some may call for processed grains such as white rice, flour tortillas, etc. I need to substitute unprocessed, high-fiber grains, and low glycemic load fruits and vegetables where necessary.
