Book Description
Dine With Us is a collection of recipes from the authors of Indie Writers Unite. It combines our most savory dishes with a sample from one of our novels, allowing you to get to know us while enjoying delicious food in the process.
Recipes are shared in the categories of: Appetizers, Breads, Soups, Salads, Sandwiches, Main Dishes and Desserts. Additionally, each recipe has step-by-step instructions along with a full-color photo.
What's great about this cookbook is it's unlike any other. The recipes are unique, many with a special meaning or significance, many with an authentic cultural background that you may have never heard of before, and that's rare to come by anymore in a cookbook. Take Charlie Romo's Musei Glowtizer for example; I guarantee you've never seen it or made it before.
Here’s just a sample of the mouth-watering recipes that await you:
Soups, Salads, and Sandwiches: ‘The-Irish-love-potatoes’ soup, So-easy-a-lazy-witch-can-do-it Tomato Soup, South Philly Roast Pork and Slaw, Hungarian Seven Chieftain Stew, Pasta e Fagioli, Refreshing Pasta Salad, Tea Sandwiches
Main Dishes: Chicken Basil Pesto Fettuccine, Flank Steak, Roasted Chicken Francais, Greek Pizza, Thai Garlic and Pepper Chicken, Chicken Divan, Corned Beef and Cabbage, Goulash, Dreamy Lasagne, Greek Chili, Ham Balls, Loco Moco, Thai Peanut Chicken with Angel Hair Pasta
Desserts: Bread Pudding, Lemon Syllabub With Raspberries, To-die-for Fudge, Grandma's World War One Cake, Men Like Pie, Peanut Butter Treats, Pots de Creme
50% of the proceeds from the kindle sales will be donated to UNICEF who work in 190 countries providing much needed assistance to children in need.
It's so nice to be able to write about a kindle indie cookbook in a positive way. The idea, of having indie writers contribute a recipe, tell a bit about themselves, and link to their books is very clever, and it works! While looking at the recipes I've found several authors I am interested enough in to explore further.
There are a lot of recipes here, the Croatian sauerkraut is one I am going to make today. There is also a hon-dashi jello that sounds super intriguing, I have never seen a recipe like it.
There are pictures of the recipes, the authors, and the book covers they are promoting. I read recipes on my PC kindle App to get the full impact.
The recipes are well laid out, the formatting is good (which is nice, since formatting can be an issue for both cookbooks and regular books and since they are promoting books they would want the formatting to be good), the recipes are well laid out, separated into appetizers, breads, soups salads and sandwiches, main dishes, desserts all with links that work.
Dine With Us: A Collection of Recipes from the Authors of Indie Writers Unite is a collection of recipes from fifty different writers, each accompanied by a page containing a link to the author's most current work and another with a short bio. The book is nicely laid out and there is an interactive Table of Contents that correctly interfaces with the Kindle Navigation Menu. (An extra star from Grandma for getting that bit right!) There is, however, a HUGE problem.
At nearly 8000KB, this is a HUGE file - easily 4X+ the size of some of the longer Kindle cookbooks! For some reason whoever has done the layout has chosen to do recipe titles in a script that requires each of them actually be a picture rather than a typed title and also done the same for the author's name at the beginning of each individual author section and yet again on the About The Author page, adding to the already graphics heavy book jacket, recipe picture and author picture.
