I have been given about half a dozen cookbooks, other than ones that specialise in kiwi tucker, most of them were only good for one recipe or so.
My go to website is
www.recipezaar.com over a quarter of a million recipes and literally dozens of ways to filter them. You can do it by cuisine, nutritional value, difficulty, number of ingrediants, diet/vegetarian/vegan, time to make, ingrediant....
The only thing that it doesn't do to my satisfaction is a good hot authentic curry. I am currently tackling Indian cuisine, does anyone know a good website?
