Cookbook finds for November 2018
Are you a cookbook addict? I am! I used to have a very large bookcase that was so full there were books stacked on top of it and on the leftover space on the shelves in front of the books. I was out of control. Luckily Amazon’s Kindle and digital books came along. At first it was just good for replacing my novel library but now with color tablets and Kindles you can read your favorite cookbooks with full effect. I have only purchased digital cookbooks for years now and I can’t pass up on a great deal.
These books are all $3.99 or less with most of them just $1.99.
Danielle Walker’s Against All Grain Celebrations
By Danielle Walker
Having a restrictive diet doesn’t mean that meals have to be uninspiring. In this cookbook, best selling author Danielle Walker makes special occasion food that is grain-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free so that holidays can still be enjoyed with familiar flavors and slightly altered ingredient lists. For each holiday or occasion, Walker creates a custom menu for you to choose from. A part of her Thanksgiving spread includes roasted garlic mashed cauliflower, smoky candied bacon sweet potatoes, apple sausage stuffing made with gluten-free bread, a succulent roasted turkey, and an apple pie without grains and refined sugars.

Inspiralize Everything
By Ali Maffucci
Ali Maffucci, the woman behind the spiralizing movement, has written her second in-depth cookbook on how to creatively use more than 20 vegetables and fruits. In Inspiralize Everything, Maffucci brilliantly replaces rice, noodles, and spaghetti as we know it into nutritious spiralized vegetables. The options are endless: think chicken tagine with apricot golden beet rice, mussels over rutabaga pasta, spicy kohlrabi tortilla soup with shrimp, and parsnip-chive waffles with gluten-free fried chicken.
