A free electronic Chinese cookbook from me, free for download. A Christmas gift from me to all of you.

It is "Ah Leung's Pictorial Recipes Windows Help File".

I have collected all my published pictorial recipes on eGullet and built them into a Windows Help file. You may download this Help file and have all my recipes in one place. In the Windows Help file, you may easily search and locate the recipes you want – all at your fingertips.

These are all my original works. I like to tell it like it is. I show you how to prepare a Chinese dish from raw ingredients to the finished dish, with photographs taken every step of the way.

I continue to update my Windows help file to include the latest pictorial publications and release the new version about once a month. Look for future releases on my eGullet signature line.

This e-cookbook is available for download at:

AhLeungPictorials.bravehost.com/index.html

Top Secret Restaurant Recipes

Top Secret Recipes Lite

Meat by Omaha Steaks John Harrison with Frederick Simon

Making Your Own Gourmet Coffee Drinks

Not one, but 3 copies of Sharing Recipes, which is a cookbook my friend's mom, a farm wife and excellent cook, put together and had printed. Very oldfashioned, down home recipes.

And not a cookbook, but I'm sure there are food related pic in there, Anne Geddes Down in the Garden.

The cookbook giveaways have been a great tool for Society members. I want to facilitate this a bit by offering two tools as you offer your cookbooks to others.

1. Donors - Post your list

2. Wanters - PM the Donor - please don't respond directly on this topic

3. Donors - As soon as a book is claimed add

[s]book title[/s] 

around your book and that will show that it is no longer available. Don't delete your book...just make a line through it.

4. Donors - if you've passed the edit window, PM me and I'll make the edit for you.

And let me know if I can help in any way.
