Cookbooks Recommended For the Young and the Old

Cookbooks still make great gifts!

Yes!  I know!!  The world wide web is flooded with food-and-drink blogs.  Thousands of blog publishers are out there sharing recipes and cooking tips, etc.; and vloggers include everybody and their mother and their grandmother who have YouTube cooking video channels.  Both bloggers and vloggers have lots of readers, viewers, and subscribers.  

Also, now that people can self-publish an eBook, amateur cooks, and some professional chefs have the opportunity to showcase their culinary skills, share their favorite recipes and cooking advice and ... give domestic divas like Martha Stewart and popular TV cooks like Rachael Ray some friendly competition.  

Even though blogs, vlogs, and eBooks abound and are readily available, and much of the content is free, believe it or not, people still like to buy cookbooks; for their own personal library and/or to give as gifts, especially to newlywed couples. ☺

Go Shopping Bees is happy to recommend two cookbooks by Mark Bittman, one of America's best-known, most widely respected food writers. 

The first cookbook has been referred to by some as "the new kitchen bible". 

This book offers a new collection of delicious recipes, from fried eggs to steamed mussels, along with practical tips and helpful photos.  Learn fundamental techniques and variation ideas for modifying or customizing recipes.
