Can't believe the Ski House cookbook didn't tempt me, as much as I love winter meals. But the breakfast recipes didn't look that different from stuff I already do. I escaped this morning!

Found a couple more sale items this afternoon, with one slightly more expensive book.

 

With a forward and contributions from Mario Batali, Colman Andrews' "Country Cooking of Italy" Kindle Edition $1.80US

The info blurb about the book states "230 sumptuous recipes".

 

Blogger LeAnn Rice's "The Loving Kitchen: Downright Delicious Southern Recipes to Share with Family, Friends, and Neighbors" Kindle Edition $2.49US

No list of recipes, but if you use the "Look Inside" feature you can scroll down and some recipe listings further down in the book and actual recipes.

 

"Better Homes and Gardens Fast or Slow: Delicious Meals for Slow Cookers, Pressure Cookers, or Multi Cookers (Better Homes and Gardens Cooking)" Kindle Edition $2.99US

No list of recipes. Seems to be trying to be all things to all audiences.
Use the "Look Inside" feature to see a the list of Appetizer recipes further into the book.

 

And slightly more expensive:

"Smoking Meat: Ultimate Smoker Cookbook for Real Pitmasters, Irresistible Recipes for Unique BBQ: Book 2: [Smoker Cookbook, Smoked Meat, Barbecue Cookbook, Smoker Guide, Smoking Meat Cookbook]" Kindle Edition $3.99US

Two bargains, two slightly more than bargains...

 

Thai food...

Chef Kris Yenbamroong's "Night + Market: Delicious Thai Food to Facilitate Drinking and Fun-Having Amongst Friends" Kindle Edition $2.99US

Use the "Look Inside" feature to see the list of recipes.

 

"Food52 Genius Recipes: 100 Recipes That Will Change the Way You Cook (Food52 Works)" Kindle Edition $2.99US

Use the "Look Inside" feature to see the list of recipes.

 

Slightly more expensive than regular sale-priced cookbooks:
"Be the BBQ Pitmaster: A Regional Smoker Cookbook Celebrating America's Best Barbecue" Kindle Edition $3.90US

Use the "Look Inside" feature to see the list of recipes.

 

Slightly more expensive...
Yvette van Boven's "Home Made Winter" Kindle Edition $3.99US
Some negative reviews mentioned some of the recipes didn't turn out like they should have...but most of the reviews are positive. Needless to say, let the buyer beware.
No list of recipes, but using the "Look Inside" feature, you can see the recipes start right away in the book.

 

After December's poor showing of sale-priced books (with Pepin being the exception) January should bring a new listing of sale-priced cookbooks. I will post any i find of interest in a few days.
