Pretty great cookbook I've taken a few meals from: http://www.leannebrown.ca/cookbooks/ Rather than cheap food that happens to be edible, she tried to focus on actually good food that happens to be cheap. Really well done. Free electronic copies are always a plus too...

A book that has been fascinating me lately is How to Cook a Wolf[0] by MFK Fisher[1], which is absolutely lovely, inspiring and amazing. A sort of home ec., slice of life bunch of anecdotes, ideas and story-telling.
