May Cook Book Deals

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.

Victuals

By Ronni Lundy

In Victuals, author Ronni Lundy endows Appalachia, her home, with lush romance. Follow Lundy on a journey into the history—of the people, places, and food—and vibrant present of the mountainous South. Alongside bracing photography of the makers and doers, places and plates of food, Lundy writes with deep appreciation of a region filled with tradition. About 80 recipes—including chicken and dumplings, English peas and cream, and dozens of methods for cooking hearty greens and sweet corn—trace the junctions between farmland and family. Amid landscapes of plenty, Lundy weaves stories of her childhood and recipes, like sorghum butter and “real cornbread,” which is blond like a yellow cake and baked over browned butter in a cast-iron skillet.
