EAT YOUR BOOKS

June, 2014 Decadence continues in June, with cookbooks dedicated to drinks and sweets. Recent bad news about the shrimping industry is tempered by good news about butter. Meanwhile, the U.S. is readying for a big July holiday with red, white, and blue foods. There's another magazine soon to be added to the EYB Library, and a slew of new cookbook recipes available online to keep you busy while you wait for that new book to be shipped. Plus, we're giving away a free Lifetime Membership. Enjoy! The team at EatYourBooks

Coming soon: Chickpea magazine

We love to add new items to the Library, and this month is no exception. We're currently indexing Chickpea, a vegan quarterly that showcases "the vegan world at the moment, whether it’s a personal story, a new book, a killer recipe, or a photo story that captures the essence of the season at hand." This ad-free magazine features content from its online community, with contributions from people of all backgrounds and skill levels. The index will go back to the first issue from 2011. MORE
