I was willing to give them a break on the breakfast pancake that used a cup of oats (for one!), but further in, a pancake and sausage mix casserole for one has a lb of sausage, 4 cups of flour, 4 eggs, 2-1/2 cups of milk, etc. Sure, one can eat that (hopefully not at one sitting or you need a different type of cookbook), but you'll be eating it daily for at least a week!

No clue on the recipes how many they really serve. A "brunch bake" with 8 slices of bacon and 12 slices of bread, for example, is probably for 8 people. Breakfast burritos range from 4 servings to more (and entire package of tortillas is what, 10 or 12?)

Seems an obvious case of seeing a potential market and throwing together existing recipes. But then, there are only 57 actual recipes in existence. They are just constantly slightly tweaked and retitled and sold to different demographics.

Maybe the book should have been entitled Cooking for...One Hungry Person!!!

Our friends at Workman's Blue Plate Special, a publisher of various genres, are offering a free ebook cookbook again this month.

Instead of offering just one ebook, "take it or leave it" style, however, Workman is giving us a choice of one of six books, beginning this month.

Well . . . only this month, at least, it's not six complete books--three of the books are actually samplers. Here is the entire list:
Raichlen's Burgers. By Steven Raichlen.
Salads for Every Season: 25 Salads from Earthbound Farm: A Workman Short. By Myra Goodman.
The Mom 100 Cookbook Sampler. By Katie Workman.
Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream & Dessert Book. By Ben Cohen, Jerry Greenfield.
Pasta from the Pantry--Sampler. By Michele Urvater.
Come Home to Supper (Sampler). By Christy Jordan.

Some of the titles may be familiar to you--they have been offered for free or as markdowns already elsewhere in the recent past. Check your libraries to make sure that you don't already have a title that you are interested in. Unless, that is, you want to own a copy in another format.

You will be getting the ebook from BookShout!, in their proprietary format.

To take advantage of the offer, go to https://bookshout.com/workmanbluepla...eSpecial052015. Follow the instructions. If you don't already have a BookShout! account, you will be required to set one up.

Also from Workman is the slate of "award-winning" cookbooks that they offer for $3.99 or less each month. This month, the three being offered are all $2.99 each.

Here are this month's titles:
Come Home to Supper (not a sampler). By Christy Jordan.
Twenty-Dollar, Twenty-Minute Meals. By Caroline Wright.
Anne Byrn Saves the Day Cookbook. By Anne Byrn.

FYI--Come Home to Supper has the highest rating at Amazon of the three ebooks--4 1/2 stars.

Unlike their monthly free titles, you can get these titles from Workman from a variety of vendors, in a variety of formats.

Thanks for the link. I hope that I'll remember it, or remember to look for it, next month.

It looks like blueplatespecial050215 doesn't work or no longer works. Anyway, this one did for me just now: bps052015. It looks like, without going into details as to why I think this, Workman may have changed the password, for some reason.

I wonder if it is possible to get one cookbook BookShout! style and another cookbook ePub/mobi style? There is also the ethical question. But, you could consider this two different offers, and therefore it would be okay to download two different ones. Right? Anyway, I ended up downloading the same cookbook that I had downloaded BookShout! style.

bps052015 is the password they publicized in their email newsletter. No clue where the other one came from, but they originally had the dropbox password screwed up (bookshout was working for bps052015) and fixed it this afternoon, after I reported the problem.

I suspect if you grab the DRM-Free downloads, you can get all six. Also, that the choice won't change for the next six months, from the clues in the newsletter.

The link and password were at the landing page from the email they sent. I just checked it again and it's changed since I looked this morning.

I was able to download all six samplers from the direct download page. Regardless of what they're hoping to accomplish with the "just download one" thing, I hope they're not in the process of switching to BookShout! exclusively.
