Well, I, for one, am done with diet books between here and Christmas. Let’s get stuck into something much more fun and substantial. Cake! Anne Byrn has a wonderful introduction to the Great American Cake for us and the price is incredible! Today’s discount title is under $2 compared to more than $20 normally. There are 125 recipes inside and while I haven’t tried them all, I have tried a few of them this week. My family are very happy with the results and I think that you will be too. Give it …

The 28 Day DASH Diet Weight Loss Program
I don’t often feature diet books on Mom Reads because I am not convinced that they’re a good idea, but I don’t see the harm in featuring The 28 Day DASH Diet Weight Loss Program by Andy De Santis RD MPH. It’s a holistic weight loss plan that’s designed to help you lose some quick weight before you start a more sensible program of healthy eating. It comes with a 28-day meal plan, some sensible lifestyle trackers that are designed to get you exercising and 100 DASH Diet Recipes that help you …
The Healthy Air Fryer Cookbook
Linda Larsen brings us the spectacularly long titled work: The Healthy Air Fryer Cookbook: Truly Healthy Fried Food Recipes with Low Salt, Low Fat, and Zero Guilt. Fortunately, it’s discount day and while the title’s long, the sticker price is not, and it weighs in at less than a buck. Which is an excellent reason to buy this book by itself. What you get for your money is a thorough explanation of the health benefits of air frying as well as over 100 healthy recipes to try with your air …
The Pioneer Woman Cooks
I don’t think that there is any such thing as the perfect cookbook. Cookbooks come into fashion and fall out of it. They are just right for one occasion and overkill or not enough for another. So, everyone should have a good range of cookbooks to call upon to cover all their bases. One cookbook that I will be calling on in the future is Ree Drummond’s The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Come and Get It! Simple, Scrumptious Recipes for Crazy Busy Lives, though I will probably abbreviate the title in …
The I Hate To Cook Book
Peg Bracken had a very simple philosophy in life – she wanted to spend as little time in the kitchen as possible, but she also wanted to eat tasty food. She spent a long time honing her culinary laziness and she shared what she learned with the world at large. Now, The I Hate To Cook Book by Peg Bracken is in its 50th Anniversary Edition! It’s also as relevant today as it was the day it was released. I love to cook but whenever I feel under extreme time pressure… it’s this book that I reach …

The Healthy Meal Prep Cookbook
Every mom should have at least one healthy eating cookbook in her kitchen. If nothing else, it serves as a kind reminder that we can do better with our diet and that our family deserves it too. The trouble is that there are so many of these types of cookbook now that choosing one becomes harder and harder every week. So, I am going to recommend Toby Amidor’s The Healthy Meal Prep Cookbook: Easy and Wholesome Meals to Cook, Prep and Go. Why? Because this is the kind of cookbook tailored to a …
Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking
Samin Nosrat has become known as the chef who taught Michael Pollan to cook, after the famed food writer featured her in his book Cooked and his Netflix show of the same name. Now, she's sharing her wisdom with the masses in her new, illustrated cookbook called Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking. The key to good cooking, she says, is learning to balance those elements and trust your instincts, rather than just follow recipes. This book offers a beautifully simple …
Salted
Wow! This cookbook is normally $32 in hardback, so this may be one of the deals of the year! Salted: A Manifesto on the World’s Most Essential Mineral with Recipes is Mark Bitterman’s (no pun, honest) guide to the use of artisanal salt and the power that it can have in different recipes. There are over 80 types of salt shown off in its pages and more than 50 recipes for you to make at home. It’s odd but I found this book truly fascinating, I love to cook but I had no idea there was this much …
