Well, i was so successful in cleaning out my cookbook shelves last month, with the help of this thread, that i've decided to do a really deep purge here are a few books to start with, and i imagine i'll have a bunch more to add before the day is through. if you're interested in any of these, please PM me & we can exchange details.

yes, i'm a hoarder of cookbooks - can you tell?

The Classic 1000 Indian Recipes
Food Lover's Guide to Colorado - Eliza Cross Castaneda
Sorbets and Ice Creams - Lou Seibert Pappas

[bluechefk]

The '1000 Indian Recipes' book has been taken! - and here are a couple more to add to the list:

i'm having SUCH a good time with this thread! - so here comes Purge #3 of my cookbook shelf

i just want to say first of all that a couple of these books are on the big & heavy side, so i feel like i have to ask for postage to be reimbursed - as a guideline, most of the books i send out (media mail) cost about $2.00, so these heavier ones will probably be closer to $4 or $5. i've marked the heavier books with ***, fyi.

ok, that said - here are the books i have to offer this time:

cakes, tortes & gateaux of the world - aaron maree ***
le cordon bleu techniques & recipes - fruit desserts
leafy greens - mark bittman
solo suppers - joyce goldstein
lettuce in your kitchen - chris schlesinger
big flavors of the hot sun - chris schlesinger ***
delicious desserts - good cooking ***

thanks! - kerry

What is "Big Flavors of the Hot Sun" about, Kerry? I'll ask this question online in case others want to know too.

[bluechefk]

i should mention that this book has probably been claimed already, but:

the book's cover-blurb says 'hot recipes & cool tips from the spice zone' - foods with big flavors (spicy hot, or strongly flavored), primarily from areas of the world where the weather is hot & the sun is bright

sample items: chicken chipotle quesadillas; grilled lamb chops with mint-chili glaze; cuban style yucca; orange-chili marmalade.

[bluechefk]

yes, that book is now taken - sorry for the teaser.

remaining books:

delicious desserts

A free electronic Chinese cookbook from me, free for download. A Christmas gift from me to all of you.

It is "Ah Leung's Pictorial Recipes Windows Help File".

I have collected all my published pictorial recipes on eGullet and built them into a Windows Help file. You may download this Help file and have all my recipes in one place. In the Windows Help file, you may easily search and locate the recipes you want – all at your fingertips.

These are all my original works. I like to tell it like it is. I show you how to prepare a Chinese dish from raw ingredients to the finished dish, with photographs taken every step of the way.

I continue to update my Windows help file to include the latest pictorial publications and release the new version about once a month. Look for future releases on my eGullet signature line.

This e-cookbook is available for download at:

I'm cleaning out the basement:

Top Secret Restaurant Recipes
Top Secret Recipes Lite
Meat by Omaha Steaks John Harrison with Frederick Simon
Making Your Own Gourmet Coffee Drinks

Not one, but 3 copies of Sharing Recipes, which is a cookbook my friend's mom, a farm wife and excellent cook, put together and had printed. Very oldfashioned, down home recipes.

And not a cookbook, but I'm sure there are food related pic in there, Anne Geddes Down in the Garden.

The cookbook giveaways have been a great tool for Society members. I want to facilitate this a bit by offering two tools as you offer your cookbooks to others.

1. Donors - Post your list
2. Wanters - PM the Donor - please don't respond directly on this topic
3. Donors - As soon as a book is claimed add

[s]book title[/s]

around your book and that will show that it is no longer available. Don't delete your book...just make a line through it.
4. Donors - if you've passed the edit window, PM me and I'll make the edit for you.

And let me know if I can help in any way.

Rob
