I've got what I think is a great free audiobook for you.

It is The 4-Hour Chef, by Timothy Ferriss. It is a "New York Times bestseller" (I suppose that refers to the book, as I am not aware that the NYT does a bestseller list for audiobooks).

A company by the name of "StackSocial" is offering it. I have actually purchased an item or two from them, and do not remember any negatives associated with dealing with them.

Surprisingly, Audible does not sell it (apparently). So, I'm going to tell you about the Amazon ebook, and let you extrapolate about the audiobook from it. The ebook is rated 4.5 stars, from 1,721 reviews. It is Amazon's #1 best seller in culinary arts and techniques books. The ebook is a hefty 672 pages, so expect the audiobook to be a long one to match.

The subtitle for the ebook, at least, The Simple Path to Cooking Like a Pro, Learning Anything, and Living the Good Life tells you a lot about what the book is about. I've got a fuller description, from Amazon, at the end of this post.

Here's the Stack Social webpage where you can get the audiobook. You will need to set up an account with them to download the audiobook. But, I think that you would enjoy getting news about their freebies (example: another freebie being offered at the present time is the Leawo Blu-Ray Player. It is very highly rated. It retails for $60.)

Audiobook Description
WHAT IF YOU COULD BECOME WORLD-CLASS IN ANYTHING IN 6 MONTHS OR LESS?

The 4-Hour Chef isn’t just a cookbook. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure guide to the world of rapid learning.
#1 New York Times bestselling author (and lifelong non-cook) Tim Ferriss takes you from Manhattan to Okinawa, and from Silicon Valley to Calcutta, unearthing the secrets of the world’s fastest learners and greatest chefs. Ferriss uses cooking to explain “meta-learning,” a step-by-step process that can be used to master anything, whether searing steak or shooting 3-pointers in basketball. That is the real “recipe” of The 4-Hour Chef.

You'll train inside the kitchen for everything outside the kitchen. Featuring tips and tricks from chess prodigies, world-renowned chefs, pro athletes, master sommeliers, super models, and everyone in between, this “cookbook for people who don’t buy cookbooks” is a guide to mastering cooking and life.

The 4-Hour Chef is a five-stop journey through the art and science of learning:

1. META-LEARNING. Before you learn to cook, you must learn to learn. META charts the path to doubling your learning potential.

2. THE DOMESTIC. DOM is where you learn the building blocks of cooking. These are the ABCs (techniques) that can take you from Dr, Seuss to Shakespeare.

3. THE WILD. Becoming a master student requires self-sufficiency in all things. WILD teaches you to hunt, forage, and survive.

4. THE SCIENTIST. SCI is the mad scientist and modernist painter wrapped into one. This is where you rediscover whimsy and wonder.

5. THE PROFESSIONAL. Swaraj, a term usually associated with Mahatma Gandhi, can be translated as “self-rule.” In PRO, we’ll look at how the best in the world become the best in the world, and how you can chart your own path far beyond this book.
