I am very happy to let you all know that our family cookbook, “Recipes from the Bartolini Kitchens”, has (finally) been converted to Kindle format. It is now available on Amazon Kindle sites the world over.
You can find links to the Amazon websites for the countries where our book is being offered on the Cookbook page, the icon of which is located under the blog’s banner photo. For you convenience, you can reach it by clicking HERE.
If none of the listed options appeal to you, the cookbook is now available at Barnes & Noble Booksellers. as well. That information is also on the Cookbook age.

As I’ve said before, thank you all for your encouragement and support.

I started reading… finally, after completing our house move… while laying on the futon in the sun on my verandah the Kindle copy I bought via amazon.com.au 🙂 Perfect summer holiday reading… and inspiration for cooking.

I think it’s great you’re able to offer your cookbook in an e-format. The first time I bought a Kindle version of a cookbook I was skeptical that I’d like it. I gave it a try just to save a few dollars, but I quickly learned how much I appreciate being able to pull up the recipes from any one of my “gadgets” and the cookbook travels with me. I’m now a fan of both the space saving element and the ease! I’ve been known to stand in the middle of a grocery store thumbing through cookbooks on my phone as I think of something and need an ingredient list! 🙂

Thanks, Debra, and I couldn’t agree more. Far more times than I care to admit, I take time to write a grocery list only to discover, upon entering the store, that the list is at home on my desk. With cookbooks on my smartphone, I can still shop for dinner without relying upon my obviously faulty memory.I also find it easier to use my iPad in the kitchen than a book. Well, so long as I place some plastic wrap over it. 🙂
