I just finished reading the Colorado Collage cookbook, which contains lots of good recipes, based around local cooks and food that uses more fruits/veggies. Okay. Decent cookbook, but not what I’m looking for. I’m not going to keep the book.  I recently weeded out my cookbooks and got rid of the ones that just provided
