Mowgli Street Food (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) is currently $1.99 on Amazon.com and .ca.  It's a fun book by barrister Nisha Katona who started the Mowgli Street Food restaurants in the UK.  I bought the hard copy almost solely to make the Smoked Cardamom Old Fashioned but I've enjoyed cooking other recipes or just browsing for inspiration.

Thanks! Find it hard to resist anything that will amuse me and only costs $1.99 (which is still part of a Christmas present!)

Two slightly more expensive finds from this morning...

The slipcover for the hard-bound book mentioned in the title, is pictured on this cookbook's Amazon info page. Needless to say, the slipcover for the Kindle version is just as practical but only exists in our imaginations. xD
Use the "Look Inside" feature to see the first chapter's recipes.
Recipe measurements are Metric with some Imperial (it will have ingredient weight but not cup measurement).

Measurements are Metric and Imperial.

Found a lot of cookbooks on sale, some previously posted in the past, some new.

Also note, some of these cookbooks may have an Amazon credit attached, but I kept getting an error message regarding the credit. Let the Buyer beware.

 

Previously posted in the past...

Edited to add: This is really odd but as I was copying and pasting Amazon info into this discussion, I discovered all of the prices had gone up by a $1.00US. Very strange. I only hope they don't go up further in price.:(

Edited again to say that the price difference may have something to do with the Amazon credit that I kept getting an error message about.

Regarding the $1 difference I was seeing in price (see above post), yes, it was because of an Amazon credit that somehow kept not getting applied to my purchases.

 

This cookbook came in my morning's BookBub email:

 

"Breakfast for Dinner: Recipes for Frittata Florentine, Huevos Rancheros, Sunny-Side Up Burgers, and More!" Kindle Edition $1.99US (eG-friendly Amazon.com link)
Use the "Look Inside" feature to see a recipe listing and scroll further down to see recipes.
