Well, I've read one...it was kind of short. But it did have some good recipes. And I've started on a 2nd one but just got the latest Bake From Scratch magazine. So, those will have to wait. LOL

One thing that I'm starting to notice about cookbooks now is that they will put the serving amount after the recipe. They also tend to not have prep times, etc. anymore. :(

Of course, I'll be adding the above to every review of these books. ;)

Stay tuned! I'm currently testing a few cooking/recipe apps with some great features like importing recipes from websites, shopping lists, some withe ability to create your own cookbooks and more!  :woohoo:

EDIT: Plus...I've just downloaded 6 more cookbooks! I'll keep you all posted after I read them. But, they were all rated very well! ;)

Skhilled

I forgot another good one. It's from America's Test Kitchen and they always have great books!

You are VERY welcome!!! :) I have about 95 or so various cookbooks from Amazon for my Kindle. I'll try to group them into separate posts according to baking, cooking, etc. :)

Excellent more cooking books for me to acquire and peruse 

Thank you

The best place to start is by learning French sauces and branching out from there. Please keep in mind that Auguste Escoffier who created the books for "The 5 Mother Sauces" did not create the recipes. He only categorized them according to what he knew at the time. I've had these for a number of years.     

Anyhow, here's are a few great books that will teach you a heck of a lot about, not only making sauces, but how to create your own versions. :Hi5:
