Dear <<Name>>,

August may not be the biggest month for cookbook publishing, but we still have plenty of reasons to celebrate at Eat Your Books! We've hit another milestone in indexed recipes - over 50,000 recipes from cookbooks that are available online. Plus, another fully indexed magazine has also been added to the EYB Library. We've also added a new feature to the website.

In addition to these exciting announcements, we've got the regular elements you love: the monthly new cookbook roundup, a recap of your favorite links for August, author interviews, cookbook excerpts, and giveaways. Finally, we are highlighting our cheesecake Pinterest board this month. Happy cooking!

The team at EatYourBooks
Over 50,000 online recipes from cookbooks!
We've hit yet another milestone in our indexing - over 50,000 online recipes from cookbooks. Use these recipes to "try before you buy", to easily look up your favorite recipes from books on your Bookshelf when you are away from home, or to experiment with recipes from a new author. Having this many recipes available online is the equivalent to adding 260 cookbooks to your Bookshelf! The three recipes above are from recently indexed books. From left to right: Rose-scented cheesecake on a coconut base with berry compote from Honey & Co: The Baking Book by Sarit Packer and Itamar Srulovich; Sautéed wild mushrooms, wild rice, roasted garlic, rocket from Savage Salads by Davide Del Gatto and Kristina Gustafsson; and Sesame noodles with Thai green curry tofu, red cabbage, and snap peas from Great Bowls of Food by Robin Asbell.
Fully indexed magazine - Gluten Free Forever
gluten free forever magazine
We are delighted to announce that we have another fully indexed magazine to add to our collection: GFF (Gluten-Free Forever). This quarterly magazine "celebrates uncompromisingly Good Food (Forever), drinks, and destinations." And, yes, all the recipes are gluten-free, although the magazine promises that "you’ll never taste the difference." Each issue features recipes from top chefs, cookbook authors, and bloggers; tutorials for mastering gluten-free cooking; trends to watch; and much more. Browse all issues of GFF in the EYB Library.

Kristin Donnelly
Food & Wine-editor-turned-freelance-writer Kristin Donnelly calls her blog Eat Better Drink Better because that’s what she aims to do most days. By better, Kristin isn't referring to some unattainable, lofty goal, but rather she means tastier, often healthier and more sustainable cooking. Kristin continues to write and develop recipes for Food & Wine as well as publications like Every Day with Rachael Ray, Prevention, Women’s Health, Epicurious and Today.com. She has just published her first cookbook, Modern Potluck.  We asked Kristin about the inspiration for the book, and what tips she could give Members on making the most of their own potluck dinners. Read her answers in our Q&A with Kristin »
Kristina Gill is the food and drinks editor at DesignSponge.com, and her original recipes, and those she hand-selects from celebrated authors, chefs, and readers have appeared weekly as the "In the Kitchen With" column since 2007. She is also a food and travel photographer. She recently teamed up with Rome expert Katie Parla to write Tasting Rome. Part cookbook, part travel memoir, Tasting Rome transports all of the flavors of Rome into your kitchen. Kristina shared with us the story of how the book came about »
