I'm looking for a new cookbook to buy since I'm getting tired of the same recipes all the time. Does anyone have one they can recommend?

I have the Bais Yaakov cookbook which I love - the recipes aren’t too complicated, and their very practical - I have a lot of supper recipes from it. Is there any cookbook that’s kind of similar? I tried looking in the store but since I don’t know how the recipes will taste in the end, it didn’t really help much.

OP it would help if you give any other factors that enhance your enjoyment of a cookbook. For instance, the BY book has beautiful photos but not every recipe has a photo. Spice and SPirit has very few photos but tons of recipes (way more than may books). Are photos important to you? Would you be overwhelmed by too many recipes?

I like the At Home Gourmet for its photos and flavor palate that is a real hit with my husband and in laws
I like Spice and Spirit for how it always has a recipe for something, but really wish there were pictures and have had some great and some not so great results with various recipes
I enjoy hip kosher for more novel, exciting idea, but again no photos
I also like Chic for how beautiful everything is despite not having a ton of ingredients or being all that hard.

I like the spice and spirit recipes but not the actual book. I only make recipes from it that I have been recommended (by my mother or sisters).

The Balebustas choice 2 has a lot of pictures (not every recipe) but it makes me want to try more of their recipes.

I actually bought the new one that came out over pesach (can't remember the name off hand) and I copied some of the recipes down to make during the year they were so good.

Thanks for all your suggestions. They have been very helpful. I think I'll go to the store and look at the ones that alot of you suggested and make a choice. Its much easier now that I know which few to pick from.
