Cookbooks have been around for centuries and have been used by generations of cooks to share delicious recipes and cooking techniques of all types. Although there remains very much a place for traditional cookbooks in the modern world, products such as the Amazon Kindle are revolutionising the way in which books of all types are bought and read.
The Amazon Kindle is a hand held, electronic reading device. It allows books to be bought, stored electronically and read at the owner's convnenience, wherever they happen to be. Why not, therefore, help the cook in your life start bringing their cookbook collection in to the twenty-first century with an Amazon Kindle, or - for those who already have one - some cookbooks to be stored on the device. This will allow them access to all their favourite recipes at the touch of a few buttons and eliminate what can be frustrating and possibly unsuccessful searching through endless books for a desired preparation.
Below are but a couple of samples of the cookbook e-books which are now available from Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. Clicking on any of them for further information will allow you to make a purchase, or browse the relevant Amazon Kindle store for more options and ideas.

Great Christmas Gift Ideas for Cooks 2010: Cut Resistant Gloves
If you are like me and tend to leave the selection of Christmas gifts until Christmas Eve, you may wonder why I am posting an article with this title in late October! The reality of the matter is that there are a great many people who like to have their Christmas gifts not only selected but actually purchased, well in advance of the festive season. This not only takes a lot of the pressure out of the process and avoids the mad dash in High Streets, Shopping Malls, or whatever, in the immediate run-up to Christmas, it very often allows you to take advantage of prices which will simply not be available at the height of the consumer frenzy.
Online shopping has many advantages. It saves a lot of time, it saves a lot of harassment that you just don't need - and very often, it saves you a lot of money! In order to take advantage of online shopping, however, you really do have to plan in advance and it is for this reason that I have decided to introduce this feature to, "What Should I Have for Dinner Tonight?" at this early stage.
As you may imagine, I cook every single day in life - sometimes more than once. What I have decided to do, therefore, in order to help you select the perfect gift for the cook in your life for Christmas 2010, is select a number of products over the next few weeks which I think are either beneficial to those who love to cook, or are likely to be desired by those who love to cook. I will source those products on Amazon (and other outlets) and feature on an ongoing basis the ones which I believe to provide the best value for money.
Please note: This feature will very much be in addition to the recipes which I include here on a regular basis and I hope to have some excellent festive dishes for you to consider coming very soon! Why not, therefore, bookmark this page, or follow the blog, and find gift ideas galore and recipes to share over the coming weeks and months?
Almost everyone who cooks does at some time or another have to chop their raw ingredients. Inevitably, this involves using very sharp knives or other implements and the fact of the matter is that, no matter how comfortable you may be using these tools, accidents can and do happen. (I am typing this article with a very sore left index finger, which I accidentally cut with a bread knife last night - and I chop food daily!) It is for this reason that cut resistant gloves are the first item to appear in this feature.
Cut resistant gloves are most commonly worn by those who perhaps shuck oysters or saw large portions of meat on a regular basis. They can be seen as cumbersome but with the improvement of modern technology and the fact that they can save some pretty nasty injuries, these considerations should really be minor.
Below are two examples of the cut resistant gloves currently available on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk at what I believe to be excellent prices. I hope that they may solve the problem for what to get the cook in your life for Christmas 2010.
Click on any link for further details, or to browse the full range for yourself...and watch for a dedicated feature coming soon to the side panel of this blog to summarise the recommendations which have been made.
