I've been keeping an eye on that one, hoping it will, eventually, go on sale.

 

It will. I have it. I don't remember if it was 1.99 or 2.99, but it wasn't more than that. I have a running list in my head of books I paid more than four dollars for because it is rare I haven't seen them on sale afterword. The one I have never seen on sale is "The Cake Bible". I would love to have that one in electronic format. But I'm hanging in there waiting. 😉

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!

"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.

Use the "Look Inside" feature to see the list of recipes. Well-reviewed in general.

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.
