I started with my BookBub email pick and found the other three international-themed cookbooks along the way:

 

"Country Cooking: 175 Fun and Flavorful Recipes for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner" Kindle Edition $1.99US

 

"Coconut. Ginger. Shrimp. Rum.: Caribbean Flavors for Every Season" Kindle Edition $1.20US

 

"Food From Across Africa: Recipes to Share" Kindle Edition $2.99US

 

"Spain: Recipes and Traditions from the Verdant Hills of the Basque Country to the Coastal Waters of Andalucia" Kindle Edition $2.99US

Use the "Look Inside" feature to see the list of recipes.
Scroll down to see the very odd layout of the recipes themselves. All of the measurements/ingredients aren't laid out plainly to see...they're lumped together into a paragraph. I guess that's one way to make sure you read the cookbook carefully.

 

I am a US Prime member and the price you see may vary.

 

I have a copy of Spain, and you must be looking at something other than what I'm seeing.  After an explanation of the recipe the ingredients are laid out line by line in English and metric units.  Then follow the numbered steps to prepare the recipe.  Cookbooks can't get much clearer.  One small complaint for a Kindle book, some of the techniques are referenced to a different page for directions.  I dislike having to flip around through a Kindle book.  However when these off page references are given there is a hyperlink to make navigation less painless.

 

I also have Morocco by the same author.  Highly recommended.  Unlike with recipes in @Wolfert's wonderful books covering the same cuisines there does not seem to be stuff left out or left to imagination.  Granted I have not made as wide an assortment of these recipes as I have from Wolfert, although a shrimp recipe has been a staple (or at least was back when I could get good shrimp).

 

 

Edit:  I checked the "look inside" preview and indeed the ingredients appear as @Toliver says.  Thankfully my copy of the book is not formatted that way!
