The last few weeks: Ottolenghi site is indexed; helpful hints; recipes; previews and more

Happy 2023! We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and that 2023 is a healthy and delicious year for us all.

I have been working on adding more 2023 books to our Library and keeping our 2023 Cookbook Preview Listing updated during the holiday break. As wonderful as the last few years have been in terms of cookbook releases, I am already biting at the bit looking forward to this upcoming year. Next week I will cover a few highlights from this listing of titles.

Great news, the recipes on Ottolenghi’s website have been indexed. Check out the 362 recipes indexed from the site and find out more in this post.

A few helpful reminders:

• If you have a question about your account or the site, please email info@eatyourbooks.com with the particulars of your inquiry. Messaging through our social media apps sometimes is not reliable and we want to be able to serve you as quickly as possible.
• If you are adding a book to the Library, please review this post before doing so. We want to get your books on your Bookshelf as soon as possible – and most of newer, popular books are already in the Library and most often already indexed.
• To check out what is new on EYB – this link will bring up all the posts describing our new features and this post is a summary of ideas and posts that will make EYB more helpful to you.
