I am scanning The 1976 Congressional Cookbook, to be available on archive.org, and I found it's missing a page (305-306). Possibly a favorite by the book's previous owner?

This is certainly unlikely, but I am hoping someone has this cookbook and could get me a picture of the page?

Thank you.

I have a 700 page cookbook from a community library box (those bookcases posted outside for people to share)

I want to scan it and upload it to archive.org (and share the link to it here but I want the text to be searchable as well, not just pictures of the pages. Has anyone else ever done anything like this?

EDIT: I can save the scanned pages as .pdf and they are already searchable. Thanks for all the interest.

Looking to buy my vegetarian friend a cookbook for her birthday. I have not myself tried any of Hetty McKinnon’s cookbooks, but her online recipes look amazing, so seems like a safe bet. Has anyone tried one or both of these books and can give a thumbs up?

I absolutely LOVE Anthony Bourdain and Love This Cookbook even more and the recipes are absolutely Amazing!

But have been thinking about selling it

Does anyone know the best place to sell something like this?

A signed Anthony Bourdain Appetites Cookbook

Seems like both these books were published in English by Phaidon. They have almost the same cover, very similar pagecount.

But I was not able to find a definitive answer: was 'France Cookbook' basically a re-release of 'I know how to cook'?

Here are Goodreads links for reference:

I know I can just buy the US version but I vastly prefer cookbooks that go by weights instead of volume measures. It's simply my preferred workflow. Would rather not pay import shipping, though if I really need to I have friends in the UK who can help.

We've all seen free brand books from various companies like Jello or Miracle Whip, but how many companies still produce free physical brand cookbooks in 2024?

I recently sent off for one on the side of a box of Jiffy cornbread mix and now I'm curious to how many I can collect.

I eat a mostly vegetarian diet, I have no problems cooking meat but tend to stay towards a veggie/ whole foods diet. With that I do lots of different outdoor sports and want to make sure I am sufficiently getting all the protein that I can which is slightly more challenging without meat. I have seen a few books online for this type of diet but wondering if anyone has any personal experience!

Do you know of any English-language cookbooks focusing on Galician cuisine? Or, if not, on northwestern Spain more generally?

Thank you for your help!

Hi everyone! I (23F) have struggled with my health throughout my life. Specifically, I’ve struggled with making nutritious choices. I’ve lost just over 30 pounds over the span of a year or so, but most of that is due to exercise and portion control (along with eating less processed junk). While losing weight is a huge plus, my main goal is developing better health habits I can stick with. I know that if I stick with these changes, other things (like weight loss) will come with time.

I think I primarily struggle with two things: one, finding healthy, simple recipes that won’t increase my weekly grocery bill ($100 or so); and, two, understanding which foods I should eat/how much/and why. Overall, I’d really love to hit my macro (especially protein) and micro nutrients everyday.

I’ve been trying to find books online, but there are so many out there that I get overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. I would greatly appreciate recommendations for cookbooks full of healthy, simple recipes to help me reach my goals. It’s a huge plus if the book explains why the ingredients are good (for example: leafy greens, rich in folate, help will cell growth and metabolism). Once I start to understand these things, it’s easier for me to stick with it and identify healthier choices on my own.

I love pasta recipes, Chinese food, and Mongolian food. I cook for the household, and my husband doesn’t like fish, so I tend to stay away from recipes that include fish.

Hello Cookbook fans!

Hey guys! I'll be visiting Hong Kong at the end of the month and I would love to bring back a few local cookbooks as a souvenir (and because I love cookbooks). I'm sure finding contemporary cookbooks won't be a problem, I can't go to any bookshop, but I'd like to get some vintage Chinese cookbooks as well, which I feel might be a bit harder to get my hands on. If anybody in this wonderful community knows where I could find such books, I would really appreciate the recommendations. Thank you!

Hi, so I'm looking for the name of an old cook book I had as a kid. I believe it was targeted towards kids, but had lots of things that you'd probably want to make with adults.

I remember it was very themed (actual examples): Leaning Tower Of Pizza, Monster Cookies, Abominable Snowman Pops, Grilled Cheese & Ham that were on like Greek pillars, and it had all sorts of cartoonish characters. There was even like a fruit treat that had animated snakes around it. I'm 19, so it has at least been around since 2010ish if not earlier (I probably got it between age 5-8).

If anyone recognizes the cookbook, please let me know the name or a link to buy it or something! It's very nostalgic for me, and I'd like it again! I used to just look at the pictures as a child and imagine making the food (which sounds really silly but I loved it as a child)!

Looking for suggestions for a vegan cookbook that specifically focuses on desserts, pastries and bread. Most vegan cookbooks I own have very limited selection, and I would love to read something that gets into the craft of baking. Any recommendations appreciated!

One of my friends can cook exactly three things: pancakes, Borscht (beetroot based east European soup), and eggs. At those three things she is amazing, every other dish she has ever tried cooking has been… interesting (and in more than a few instances, inedible).

She is not a fan of cooking, and it’s also a bit of a picky eater but she’ll get over it most of the times (e.g. she hates onions but if I cook a dish with onion she’ll eat it).

She is going to be living by herself shortly, and I’d like to get her a cookbook as a present. Ideally this cookbook would have simple recipes, with ingredients you can find in any supermarket, and if they are fast to cook, even better.

I was thinking of Jamie Oliver’s 5-ingredient books but I am not sure.

Can someone recommend a book that you think she’d enjoy/find practical?

Thank you in advance! 😊

Looking for recommendations for cookbooks that focus on sauces. I’ve got so many cookbooks but really want to expand my sauces and dressing options.

My son is a HS senior in an engineering program. For their final project, they are tasked with designing a product that solves a particular problem that people have. He is considering a cookbook solution, that can possibly also be used for other books. They are conducting market research to justify their project. If you could take a few moments of your time to fill out the short survey below, he'd appreciate it. Thank you.

Hi all I posted on another baking sub with this question and was directed here.

Are there any baking cookbooks that you would recommend for a beginner baker who is just getting into the hobby

I’m looking for a book that’s focused primarily on desserts like Cookies, cake, and fudges.

Ideally one with a price tag between 25-45 dollars just because I can’t quite afford anything more right now

Like most people my diet is lacking in fiber and veggies. I make plenty of healthy and vegetable rich dinners but the issue is breakfast and lunch because of time and busy life. I make smoothies fairly often but its usually just grabbing random frozen fruits and veggies from the freezer and tossing them in the blender but opening 10 different bags and containers every time is a major deterrent. I would like to start prepping a smoothy mix with as much nutrients, probiotics and fiber as possible that i can just pull from the freezer to have with breakfast or lunch. I very much care about flavor when I’m eating, which is part of the issue getting veggies during the day but for some reason I can drink any sludge that comes out of a blender with no problem. Theres a million smoothie books out there but it feels like all if them are full of detox, inflammation miracle cure bs and often still full of sugar to make them taste good so you recommend their product.

Im looking for a pdf scan or more preferably to buy a copy if possible, any help or leads or comments are appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Hi, I’m relatively new to the thread but am already loving it. Currently looking for collections of classic/regional Chinese-American take-out dishes like Walnut Chicken, Springfield Chicken, Sweet & Sour, Orange _, General Tso’s, Kung Pao, etc. Any current publications recommended? I’ll be cross posting this over on r/cookbooklovers

Wish I could post a picture of a recently purchased cookbook from 1925, as I’m having no luck finding more info on it online.

I recently got Molly Stevens' All about Roasting and I have noticed a whole lot of notes written in the margins; much like how you would annotate in a textbook. Does anyone else do this?

She is having a hard time remembering the authors name but it was a woman from Montana who had a lot of kids. The book was written in the mid 70s and was titled Old country cook book or country cook book. It was a soft book cover black and white. The author had family pictures and anecdotes in the book. Little stories about her cooking and life. She toured through New Jersey and New York to sell her book. The book detailed everything to do with cooking canning and even digging your own cellar/fridge area under ground to preserve food. Any help is greatly appreciated

Hey friends, my mom made 7-day ribs for my 16th birthday back in 2006 and I have been looking for the recipe for probably the last decade. She swears that it came from an old Bobby Flay book but we have been unsuccessful in finding it. It had a mix of different marinades and dry rubs and then it was grilled and possibly smoked at the end. Does anyone have any of his old books that might be able to look or does anyone recognize the recipe? Any help would be most appreciated!

Does anyone know if the Indian nachos recipe is in this cookbook? Thanks

I'd like to make a recipe/cookbook with all my favorite recipes or ones id like to try in it. I have one I wrote on a note card that I want to add. Could I do a mixture of like pasted recipe cards and hand written and clipped recipes in like a notebook? Any thoughts on that idea or any other ideas? I'd rather have a physical copy of the recipes so I don't have to use my phone. Just getting started with all of this and cooking. Also if anyone has tips or tricks on how to cook better I'll take them. Recipes you'd like to pass along from family, I'd definitely take those. Thanks!

I've been having this problem lately where I find a recipe that looks good and might be fairly weeknight-quick (45 min of active prep & cook time), but then I see it in the ingredients list:

• 12 tomatoes, peeled and seeds removed. Having trouble peeling? Boil a pot of water, throw the tomatoes in, then peel.

Well, that's adding 20-30 minutes to my end-to-end time.

Or

• This 'one pot and done' book recipe is so fast and easy! To start, you'll need pre-cooked arctic-spiced chicken [pg 120] and already-slow roasted mexican-japanese fusion chickpeas [pg 230]"

Alright, that one might not be 100% real, but you get the picture.

I know in a lot of cases you can take shortcuts by subbing things in (canned tomatoes, grocery store rotisserie chicken...), but I'm also wondering if there are good cookbooks or resources that do truly have 45-min end to end style recipes. Any recommendations?

I saw a book on TikTok once and can’t remember what it was. It wasn’t a book of recipes but instead it was a book ingredients and what flavours goes with what.

If anyone can help me find a book like that I would appreciate it.

Thank you.

Hi I’m looking for a recommendation for salads that are commonly eaten in France. I was impressed by the simple salads there - so delicious. Less is more. I really like Raw Sisters salads - written by 2 young sisters in Christchurch NZ. They are very creative and delicious. But want some French recipes.
