In the search for good cookbooks, the best that I have found have all been from used book stores (cheap!), and they are all from the 70's. When the "whole food vegetarian" craze was the big new thing, tons of these books came out.
The most famous is the "Moosewood" series, that I still love and adore. I recently got the "Cabbagetown Cookbook", and it has wonderful recipes too.
The great thing about them is that they don't rely on packaged products at all, focus on whole grains and fresh ingredients, and if they are vegan, they can easily be converted into either meat or dairy dishes. They don't usually use products that are hard to find, either.
They're also useful if you're expecting a vegetarian Shabbos guest, and you're drawing a blank as to what to make for them.
If you have a favorite hippie cookbook, post it here!

I love those cookbooks too! I don't cook so much out of them anymore, because they tend to be heavy on the animal products, but I love the idealism and the passion and the simplicity. The Tassajara Bread Book taught me to bake. It has Buddhist stuff so some people here might not be comfortable, but it's a great one.... Also the original Laurel's Kitchen--its recipes aren't always so great, but the essays and woodcuts are fabulous. I also like the More With Less cookbook--you have to ignore the Mennonite stuff in there, but the voluntary simplicity part is really good.

I use the Moosewood cookbooks a lot, too. There's a newer one that is lighter on dairy and fats.

Oooh, I forgot about those! I had those when I was younger, but they got lost in a move at some point. Thanks for the reminder, I need to get them again.
