I recommend Ann Louise Gittleman's books about nutrition. She not only tells you what's good to eat but does an excellent job of explaining why. She includes some recipes, but I just experiment with tastes in my kitchen. Since I love salads and hate cooking, I've come up with several dozen ways to make a tasty, filling salad based on what I've learned about foods from Gittleman's books.
Try her website for more info or go to a bookstore to browse her books. I've tried other books, but hers were the easiest, quickest reads with the most information packed inside.

and one recipe....
Corned Beef and Cabbage with Red Potatoes
Ingredients:
1 pound lean beef round
1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste
1/8 tsp black pepper, or to taste
1 Tbsp yellow mustard seed
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp coriander seed(s)
1/2 tsp ground cloves
2 piece bay leaf
8 small uncooked red potato(es), cut into 2-inch pieces
16 baby carrot(s)
1 medium head green cabbage, coarsely shredded
Instructions:
Coat beef all over with salt and pepper and place in a large stockpot; pour enough water over to cover. Add seasonings and bay leaves, stir to coat meat and set pot over high heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer 40 minutes.
Add potatoes, carrots and cabbage and return to a boil. Increase heat to medium, partially cover pot and boil, until vegetables and beef are fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain water from meat and vegetables, reserving 1 cup of liquid; discard bay leaves.
Slice meat crosswise into thin slices and serve with vegetables. Pour some reserved cooking liquid over each serving. Yields about 3 ounces of meat, 1 1/2 cups of vegetables and 1/4 cup of cooking liquid per serving.
Chef Tips
We renovated Corned Beef and Cabbage by:
Using lean beef round instead of fattier cuts of meat such as corned beef.
Seasoning the beef to add flavor and help tenderize it (leaner cuts of meat need extra tenderizing since they are missing the natural tenderizer of fat).
Adding extra vegetables for a nutrient and fiber boost.
