I have all the cookbooks. I use the Bread Becker’s all the time and I use Beth Holland’s often as well. I like the recipes. Plus the fact that I have an Electrolux DLX and many of their recipes tell you how to use this machne in a recipe makes it easy for me. Beth is a southern girl (I’m in TN) and she’s taken many “down-home” recipes and adapted them for whole food cooking.
I rarely use Sue Gregg’s cookbooks. I can’t stand the way she writes out her recipes. Just give me the ingredients at the top and directions below. I really had no idea that she had revised them so many times. I’ve had mine for quite awhile. She has a lot of information in them, some of which is helpful. Some confuses me and some I just don’t agree with. I have Nourishing Traditions as well but it’s the same with it. I agree with some and reject some. (I will NOT eat raw meat. 
) LOL! I’m just a plain kind of girl and I think both of these make real food much more complicated than it needs to be.
One of the most balanced books I’ve read about healthy eating is What the Bible Says About Healthy Living by Dr. Rex Russell. His premise is simple: Eat what God gave us for food, don’t alter God’s design and avoid food addictions. I think people often give up on healthy eating because they read so much that is contradictory. I think if we would just remember those three concepts, we would put away the confusion and be able to prepare healthy meals for our families.
