Are you talking about a cookbook with recipes you would use or a cookbook program that calculates for you when you put in your recipes? If you use recipes from a cookbook, I think there are copywrite laws you have to be careful of. Karen may be able to give some tips on that.

But there are some very good cookbook/recipe programs that calculate nutrients for you pretty well. I like Now You're Cooking. It uses the USDA tables and does pretty well. It's sometimes a little cumbersome, but I like the control I get from it.

I also find that calculating on gram weights is a lot easier than using cups and teaspoons, etc.

Just a couple cents there.
