Doggonit, I already have too many unexplored (or barely explored) cookbooks. That said, the prose and ideas of the introduction were well worth $1.99 on their own. Thanks, Toliver. (...I think. I may have to upgrade my storage before long.)

I'm curious -- who needs a recipe for grilled cheese and bacon sandwiches, mini or otherwise?

 

 

I own the hard bound version of Eric Greenspan's The Great Grilled Cheese Book: Grown-Up Recipes for a Childhood Classic: A Cookbook, so perhaps I'm in that group.

Christopher Kostow's "A New Napa Cuisine: [A Cookbook]" Kindle Edition $1.99US

 

This is a very nice book if you like professional cookbooks from michelin star restaurants. Lots of nice dishes and explanations. Not useful for home cooking, recipes are very difficult and involved.

This is a sort of minor sister to Vivian Howard, the approach is really similar. Content is not top class like on "Deep Run Roots", but still pretty good. Photos are awesome.
