I will be annotating and building out this list later, but these are not only a good start, they are also very reputable sites.
These are three of my currently favorite books; two of them are cookbooks. The links are to Amazon.com, but you can get them from anywhere. What I like about Amazon.com is that you can easily access the publisher name and ISBN number.
The Food You Crave: Luscious Recipes for a Healthy Life, by Ellie Krieger
What to Eat, by Marion Nestle
The EatingWell for a Healthy Heart Cookbook, by Philip Ades and The Editors of EatingWell Magazine
Hungry Planet: What the World Eats
Thanks for posting the link to the new food pyramid. It is helpful to see a visual for how the thinking on a balanced diet has changed.
