Anyone interested in indexing books?
We are getting so many index requests from members that we need to take on more data inputters (a paid job). If you, or anyone you know, might be interested get them to contact us at info@eatyourbooks.com. They should…
21 New Ingredients in Under Pressure
I just added Thomas Keller's Under Pressure as an indexed book and was surprised that I had to add another 21 new ingredients, even with 5,936 already in our database. How many of you have these in your store-cupboard…
First EYB Press
Very exciting - we had our first piece of press today in the Vermont newspaper Seven Days. The article is available on their online edition. There was also a terrific article about EYB on Suite 101 which explains really…
Heaviest and best cookbooks
Funny piece today on Eat Me Daily about the heaviest cookbooks out there and their cost per pound. As expected, The Big Fat Duck Cookbook was the heaviest and most expensive per pound at $13.57. Take a look and see how…

Sheila Lukins
Sad to hear today that Sheila Lukins has died of brain cancer. I've loved the Silver Palate books for years and own a few of her other books. We have ten of her books here at EYB and most are indexed. To view Sheila's…
Julie & Julia
Saw 'Julie & Julia' last night and loved it. Based on the books My Life in France by Julia Child and Julie & Julia by Julie Powell, this juxtapositions the two stories. Julia is finding herself through French cooking…
I'm loving this website!
Well I know I am biased but I am really getting pleasure out of using EYB. The last two nights I have cooked completely new dinners as a result of using Recipe searches. Last night I did a really quick Salmon and…
