A Couple of Marked-Down Volumes in Marlena De Blasi's "A Thousand Days in..." Series
I was unfamiliar with Marlena de Blasi and her books until I ran across these ebooks on markdown. She has written a series of cookbooks, but these are not a part of that series. These books do have recipes in them, however (that's why I chose to post them on the "Cookbooks" thread). They are part of a series of books that look to me to be kind of a combination of memoir, travelogue, and cookbook. It appears that these two books are the only ones of the series presently available as Kindle ebooks.
A Thousand Days in Venice: An Unexpected Romance. By Marlena de Blasi. Rated 4 stars, from 202 reviews at the present moment. Print list price $14.95; digital list(?) price $9.99; Kindle price now $1.99. Algonquin Books, publisher. 257 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Thousand-Days-...pected+Romance. A Thousand Days in Tuscany: A Bittersweet Adventure. By Marlena de Blasi. Rated 4 1/2 stars, from 128 reviews at the present moment. Print list price $16.00; digital list(?) price $9.99; Kindle price now $1.99. Algonquin Books, publisher. 337 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Thousand-Days-...weet+Adventure.

Awesome Price on this Big, Highly-Rated Cold-Weather Cooking Cookbook.

The dishes in this cookbook sound soooooo yummy. Cold-Weather Cooking. By Sarah Leah Chase. Rated 4 1/2 stars, from 33 reviews at the present moment.

Guided by a sense that winter is the season for seasonings-from ginger, garlic, and rosemary in Mixed Winter Squash Provencal to the cilantro and walnut crust on a dazzling Roast Rack of Lamb-this gifted cook and author provides dishes that are even gutsier than her summertime favorites. She pays special attention to the late harvest, helps cooks make the most of fall fruits and vegetables, offers chapters on winter grilling and cooking over the hearth. More than 300 recipes range from bracing drinks for the first sign of autumn to glorious spring dishes for an Easter celebration. Warm Tomato Pie. Wild Rice, Mushroom, and Oyster Bisque.

I didn't look at them all, but all of the GA Russell free cookbooks from today that I looked at say:
This book was converted from its physical edition to the digital format by a community of volunteers. You may find it for free on the web. Purchase of the Kindle edition includes wireless delivery. This usually means this was converted from a public domain ebook at Project Gutenberg, and so it's probably always free at Amazon, and if not, it's free at Project Gutenberg. |

GA also may have done some vetting of them. I noticed, for example, that I had not previously downloaded any of them, so maybe she tried to find ones which had not been posted before. Anyway, I ended up downloading, for the first time, all of the ones that I saw that interested me, and that was a bunch. Oh, here's a linky to cookbooks at Gutenberg and all of the cookbooks at Amazon, sorted low ($0) to high. Last edited by GtrsRGr8; 02-25-2015 at 10:34 AM. |
