Back to Basics: As if Mark Bittman Wrote a Food Encyclopedia:
Great resource for inspiring better eating choices. Page through and pick out some fruits, veggies, legumes, and even some animal protein (this isn't a vegetarian source, but rather omnivorous). Look at pretty pictures of them (admit it: pictures make thinking about food a whole lot more fun).

The biggest downside of the book is a certain lack of soups,stews and especially desserts ! There are some and a lot more on his webpage (which is free by the way) but to get more sweet recipies would have been great. I especially like the webpage... more info
