I am old-fashioned and love a good cookbook. Can anyone recommend their fav?

I very much like my latest acquisition "Low Carb Revolution: Comfort Eating for Good Health’ by Annie Bell. There is a foreword by Dr. Alexander D Miras MRCP, PhD. It covers things like Mash, Chips or Roast (not potatoes!), burgers, casseroles, eggs, low carb puds to name a few chapters.
Otherwise I often look in Paleo or gluten free websites for inspiration. Without exactly subscribing to either diet you can find some useful recipes there.
Melitta—I’ve thought for years that we should publish a TuD cookbook—assembling all our adapted recipes, maybe organized by varying degrees of carbs since we all pay attention to carbs in different ways (ability to bolus or not, for instance)—
I understand there are difficulties with sourcing and copy rights and how to get permissions. While I could do a lot to help in organizing and testing, that kind of research is beyond my sphere of expertise…
I have mostly learned lo-carb cooking from Gerri, Libby and other TuD members. And careful adaptations of old family recipes, which is a lot of fun…Most lo-carb cookbooks I have looked at define low-carb as what I would call moderate carb, so they aren’t useful to me. But—they are very much useful to others of our community. I have to track down a couple great ones my daughter gave me—I’ve marked many entries as ones I could adapt for my way of eating. I’ll check in tomorrow—Now that I can, at last! Hooray…So lovely to interact with you again!
that sounds like some great cooking!
Yes, it has some great ideas that I had not thought of doing. It has shaken me out of a rut I had fallen into 
These are online resources but they have many excellent ideas:
Cam Macdonald’s Collection of the Low Carb newsgroup recipes
and also Franziska Spritzler, an RD and CDE
(it appears she has a book)
