Featured Cookbooks & Recipes

This week’s featured recipes include a dozen DIY spice mixes from Mark Bittman — some fresh alternatives to the out-dated jars in the back of our cupboards! But did you know we have ALL of Mark’s recipes indexed? That’s more than 15,000 recipes from his cookbooks and columns. To search for online recipes only, simply apply the “online recipes” filter and add the ones you want to try to your Bookshelf (even free members can do this now!) You can also add EAT, The Minimalist, or The Flexitarian to your Bookshelf alongside any of his cookbooks you may own. Mark’s latest, The VB6 Cookbook, was just published earlier this week and is now indexed.

If you get the chance to make any of this week’s featured recipes, please share your experience with the EYB community by adding a Note to the recipe. Happy cooking and baking everyone!
