Two deals for Canadian bakers on Amazon.ca:

 

Tartine, $2.99

 

Secrets of a Jewish Baker: Recipes for 125 Breads from Around the World, $1.99

Oops...you're Canadian. 

Sometimes that makes for a different price than the US version of Amazon. Not in this case (price is the same) but it has made a difference in the past with some titles.

Two this evening:

 

From the Brooklyn eatery, "Roberta's Cookbook" Kindle Edition $1.99US
It's pizza-centric, though the index doesn't indicate what the recipes are.

 

From the London bakery, "The Violet Bakery Cookbook" Kindle Edition $2.99US

Chiming in to help enable: the spelt-dried cherry scones in the Violet Bakery Cookbook are amazing. The recipe makes a boatload, but the dough freezes well. You're welcome.

Thanks!  After I picked up Fat Rice, I saw that Andrea Nguyen's The Banh Mi Handbook is $1.99 on US Kindle so I got that one, too. 

 

(US Prime member.....and all that)

 

Edited to add:  I went over to amazon.ca to check.  Sadly, that deal isn't available over there.  :(

 Was ti me.  It had you cooking a thin steak for so long it would turn into shoe leather.   Kind of put me off the second version dealing with pork.  Shame really because it’s possible rest of the book is fine.
