I recently bought a cookbook *despite* its cover, and it may be one of the most useful cookbooks I ever bought.
It's called "Quick Wins - Healthy Cooking for Busy Lives", by Ella Mills, and the "healthy" claim definitely makes me want to recoil. But somehow, I still opened it, and somehow, I still bought it.

It's a vegetarian-mostly-vegan (and probably the only non-explicitly-vegan thing in there is yogurt, which, well, easy sub) cookbook, with easy but non-trivial recipes, mostly using beans as proteins (I like beans!), typically using canned beans, and a few recipes in there I can actually make with whatever I have in my pantry/fridge at a given time.

The recipes are not mind-blowing, but they're consistently satisfying, and the recipe writing/editing is good.
I particularly like the section about "batch cooking", which is on the lower side of what one typically understands as batch cooking, BUT it's one base recipe, targeted for 4 portions, and a second recipe to twist the left-over 2 portions (the whole book is using 2 portions as a unit).

The portions themselves tend to be on the large side, and I probably need to adjust for that slightly; still, I've been cooking with that book quite a lot in the past few weeks, and I'm happy I went beyond my impression of the cover :)

I am making a 5-lentil dal for breakfast, called Dal Punj Rattani (The Five Jewels). I often have some sort of grain or lentil for breakfast - millets, chickpeas, kitchari, etc. This one really hits the 3-grains-lentils-etc-per-day goal that Michael Greger advocates 😄 (I don't aim for this, just a mix of grains, lentils etc across the week.)

Recipe is from The Complete Indian Regional Cookbook by Mridula Baljekar.

I am not cooking enough Indian atm - time taken up with fermentation - so I am planning my next one. Stuffed Peppers, Indian Style, by Das Sreedharan who has this recipe in a couple of his cookbooks.

A spicy marinated tofu is out of the freezer for this evening's meal. I love having these packs on hand, and I vary the marinade every time I make packs for the freezer.

A 13th-Century Cookbook Featuring 475 Recipes from Moorish Spain Gets Published in a New Translated Edition

Some of the distinctiveness of Spain as we know it today comes as a legacy of the period from 700 to 1200, when most of it was under Muslim rule. The culture of Al-Andalus, as the Islamic states of modern-day Spain and Portugal were then called, survives most visibly in architecture.

Open Culture

McCall’s Cooking School, 1986

I’ve never seen one in such good condition before, so it came home with me. Missing the index, but the rest of the binder sections seem decently represented. From what I can tell online, there are three different binders.
