[SavCook]

The Cuisinart Cooking Club newsletter was published monthly from August of 1985 through July of 1989. My set is ALMOST complete, but there are four months that I am missing and would love to find copies of them. The months I am missing are:

November 1986

March 1987

October 1988

January 1989

Please let me know if you can help with any of these.

Likewise, as my set is ALMOST complete, I would be happy to help if you've found this newsletter to be as helpful as I have and are missing some issues.

You are incredible Ms. Suzilightning.  So generous.  And, pray tell, why do you keep having reams of cookbooks to give away?  I am really curious.

I'm going through my own cookbooks and many of them my in-laws give me for birthdays and Christmas that I really wouldn't buy for myself.  Some of the ones in this batch also came from a woman who was cleaning our her brother's estate and wanted me to have them because she knew I was a cook.  Others I do get as review books.  If they are not marked in a particular was we librarians use I will offer them.  After about 6 weeks I will give ones not requested to my local library.

Gotcha.  I have a friend who is a health care worker and sometimes a older client will give her his late wife's cookbooks.  She is a dedicated non-cooking type so she passes them on to me.  I then have called in friends and neighbors to take what they want (after carefully taking the best for moi-même  ) and then the remainder, if any, goes to the library.  

[Darienne]

Dear Suzilightning did send a big box of cookbooks to my small rural library some time in 2020.  She was duly thanked by our librarian and the books were much appreciated.

 

[TdeV]

Dear Suzilightning also sent me a some books. The books were packed into the box with old cooking magazines! Kept me busy for a while. 😊
