"More with Less" was my go-to cookbook for the first decades of married and adult life. My copy was so battered and splattered by my 40's that I had to stick it in a small 3-ring binder. Pages fell out (important pages!) and when I inherited my mother's less-abused copy I finally had the complete volume again. Though many of the recipes are outside our medically-restricted diet, still I treasure it for the way it helped me think about food, cooking and sharing.
We've made it a practice to buy a copy of More With Less if ever we see one second hand (and sometimes new) to give away as a wedding present. It will not surprise anyone to know I don't consult a lot of cook books. But More With Less is the only cookbook I've ever read cover to cover and it's as good in the thinking as it is in the eating.

yes! I have a couple of these! my neighbor turned me on to these and they are brilliant.
My Mom used to make our church communion bread from this recipe book! I have a copy and am inspired to look at it again!
