Free Downloadable Cookbooks

There are over 40 free cookbooks and recipes available to download to your Kindle, phone, or computer on Amazon today. 


 Some of the cookbooks available are downright awesome, like "Mrs. Child's" The American Frugal Housewife, written, I would guess, around 1870. I'm also interested in checking out Twenty-five cent Dinners for the Family of Six.  I'd love to see how those recipes translate to 2011 prices!

Here's a partial list of the books that are available:

• The American Frugal Housewife
