Healthy Food Books Giveaway

In preparation for the new year, we finally went through the cookbook shelves and picked a few that we just don't use anymore. All of them have worthwhile information; but these days we rely on the internet for recipes more than print books. And in our small home, every bit of space counts.

Rather just send the whole pile to the local Goodwill and hope they find good homes, I thought I'd offer them up to friends and other readers. First priority will go to anyone who responds quickly and can take an in-person handoff. After that, I'll use media mail to distribute; and what's left will be donated.

Over the coming weeks, I'll review/promote a few of my favorites. For today, here's the general list:

• Diet for a Small Planet, by Frances Moore Lappe (1975 ed)
• Recipes for a Small Planet, by Ellen Buchman Ewald (1973)
• Laurel's Kitchen, a Handbook for Vegetarian Cookery and Nutrition (1982)
• Crockpot Cooking (1975)
• Yeast Connection Handbook, by Wm Crook MD (1996) [about candida]
• Joyce Chen Cookbook (1976)
• Learn Chinese Cooking in Your Own Kitchen (1976)
• Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook (1998)
• Free to Eat, by Bronwyn Schweigerdt (2010)
• Great American Writers' Cookbook (1986)
