The old Good Housekeeping. Not the ones from recent years, they've gone to shit.

IIRC the red and white Better Homes and Gardens cookbook is pretty legit.

Google

Any of the America's Test Kitchen books honestly. I'm particularly fond of Kimball's Cook's Bible.

Practical as in does not involve lots of equipment or lots off less common ingredients

Christopher Kimball is great, he may not get all modern and flashy on the show, but the book is solid and so is he.

Not being a smart ass, but look into the Frugal Gourmets books, The Frugal Gourmet Whole Family Cookbook.

It doesn't necessarily have to be cheap food.

Complete cooking for Two
might actually be exactly what you are looking for, they modified recipes to make it simpler and easier to cook for two, no buying an 8 pound cut of meat you cant finish, no buying a pound of tahini you only need 4oz of, etc

>complete cooking for two

To be fair I'd eat every recipe out of Gordon's homecooking book, but he stresses simplicity and adds like 10 other retarded ingredients that you can only get in Britain or India or something retarded like that.
