Anything written by Mario Battali. All else is shit.

why would you buy a cookbook ?
The web has more great recipes than you could ever cook.

If you just want good tasting food I would start at epicurious.com and try any recipe that has over 3 stars.

If you are looking for health food type recipes there are hundreds of blogs that have recipes for you. All types, Paleo, vegan, fruititarians, you name it.

Keep in mind that anyone can put a recipe up online. I would stick to ones that have several glowing reviews.

The only reasons to buy cookbooks is for learning techniques of cooking, not recipes
Of course there are some exceptions.

pinterest.
search for muscle building recipes/ fitness food/ etc. After you cycle through all the dr. oz/mom science posts- you actually find some pretty decent stuff.

Hey thank you, I see what you were talking about with the dr. oz stuff.

Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything is a book I give out to people learning to cook for the first time. There's a lot of technique guides throughout that are really helpful for people starting out.

J Kenji Lopez alt - the food lab is a more advanced version of this.

Most books by cooks illustrated are good.
