January Cook Book Finds

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.

Rachael Ray 365: No Repeats

By  Rachael Ray

Suffering from leftover fatigue with the same foods? For home cooks who fear monotony, Rachael Ray has come to the rescue. Inside, you’ll find a recipe for every single day of the year (and an extra one for leap years). Many dishes are anchored in master recipes which are easily swappable and adaptable. Take the broccoli mac and cheese, for instance. Replacing the broccoli with cauliflower and gouda with cheddar gives the dish a whole new feel. Best of all, each recipe takes less than 30 minutes to prepare.

The Great Big Pressure Cooker Book

By Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough

There’s a new wave of pressure cookers on the market today, and a whole new slate of cookbooks that want to solve the problem of how to best make use of these time-saving appliances. Bruce Weinstein and Mark Scarbrough have backgrounds in academia in addition to being obsessives in the kitchen. They apply those skills to a book that features 500 recipes for pressure cookers and similar devices, including breakfast casseroles like bacony bread pudding, corned beef hash, breakfast polenta with pine nuts and honey; lunch options like beef, barley, and mushroom soup and chicken and rice casserole with artichokes and tomatoes; and heartier dinner entrees like curried beef short ribs with potatoes and lamb shanks with ginger and figs.
