Enter our worldwide giveaway to win an autographed copy of My Cookbook Passion: Culinary History and Adventure in Exploring My Collection by Pamela Kure Grogan.

My Cookbook Passion: Culinary History and Adventure in Exploring My Collection is filled with Pam's lifetime of culinary work, photos of the covers and anecdotes about the books in her collection, snapshots of her life travels (meeting Julia Child, work with Chuck Williams and more) along with a selection of recipes. This is a cookbook lover’s dream book but also could be a dangerous purchase. You may find yourself trying to track down some of these books in Pam's collection.
Reading about the titles along with Pamela’s culinary adventures is a joy. The vintage cookbook covers and descriptions are lovely to have in one title and are a who's who of the cookbook world. Pam has done the work of making a cookbook lover's scrapbook that we can enjoy while curled on the sofa. Find out more about the author in our Quick Bites feature.
Please take a look at our
which gives you a wonderful idea of how special this book is. A quote from me appears on the back cover and a quote mentioning Eat Your Books is on the inside flap of the book jacket.

Eat Your Books members can take $5.00 off at checkout using the coupon code COOKING at Histria Books. The cost of the book will then be $34.99 plus shipping and handling of $5.99. Valid thru Dec 31st. I will keep track of any holiday sales for this title as well.
The editor of this title (and devoted husband of Pamela), S.P. Grogan, is also offering a bonus for two book buyers: the opportunity to win an autographed copy of the Mercedes the Cat poster. If you have ordered this book or will be ordering it - take a screenshot or photograph of your receipt and email it to info@cookbookpassion.com making sure to include in the subject line "Mercedes the Cat". He will then draw two names and notify those folks of their win. The deadline for entering the poster giveaway will be Dec 31, 2021 at midnight.

When she passed 7 years ago I wasn't in a mental place to handle her large collection of cookbooks and sadly I let all but a few go. (If I had known about Eat Your Books then, it might have been different). A weird thing happened though after she was gone-my cookbook gene was activated, and my small 20 book collection has swelled 20 fold. I now have a collection to rival her own, with a focus on international cuisine and what I call travel cookbooks. I like to sit down, read, learn and then hopefully be inspired to bring a taste of places far away into my own home. She would have absolutely loved Eat Your Books for the way it allows us to fully use our extensive and cherished collections.

My cookbook collection has ebbed and flowed over the years as I moved about, and edited for the space that I had to store them. I have a soft spot for the coil bound cookbook fundraisers printed by church ladies, essayists such as MFK Fisher and Laurie Collin, and I still have many of the Gourmet magazines that started me down this road decades ago.
