Cheese (6 recipes)
Pasta (6 recipes)
Noodles (5 recipes)
Rice (6 recipes)
Chicken (9 recipes)
Fish and shellfish (9 recipes)
Pork (5 recipes)

Potatoes (5 recipes)
Tomatoes (3 recipes)
Eggplants (3 recipes)
Spinach (3 recipes)
Mushrooms (3 recipes)
Tofu (3 recipes)
Chocolate (4 recipes)
Cream (3 recipes)
Fruit (3 recipes)

The second picture is:
Hearty Casseroles and Crockpots by Robyn Martin.
A little Super Food Ideas recipe book, Best Ever Winter Warmers.
And a magazine called Sweet Delights, with most recipes based around almonds, apples or mangoes.

Hopefully someone will take those off your hands, Amy.

astarra, the Casseroles and Pies book is yours. Just pm me your address.
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Just realized I've still got the paperback version of Women's Weekly Pressure Cooker recipes, this is the full size book but I also purchased the bigger hard cover one. Happy to send anywhere if someone is interested.

Hello
You are all probably going to think I am bonkers, and selfish, but let me preface by saying that had I known this was an idea for giving away cookbooks I certainly would have done so.

I have spent the last several months cutting them up and scanning in the recipes that I want from that cookbook and then when I was finished, I chucked the cut up book away, I have kept all of the pages that have been scanned and saved and have an enormous pile of single sheet recipes. The/ paper copies are not in any order, just in a pile and have over 9,000 of them however have saved them all to PDF and store them on my iPad, so if I can help anyone with any and they don't mind getting it on pdf, please let me know.

Wow 50plus! What a huge effort! I've often thought to do something like that but thought it would be too much effort. How do you organise them all so you.com find what you are looking for?
I have a Facebook page with all things cooking, you'll find it here: https://www.facebook.com/What-Amber-Ate-1097437023601587/

I have to be very honest, I had my girl on the front desk do it, we have been very quiet this year work wise, and at lest she was employed even if she only scanned recipes.

I'd love it! Sounds like a list of favourites. I'm trying to get together a display book with all my favourites in it.

Unfortunately I have had them on my Ipad, and on that you cant sort them into categories, so I have them on another tablet and they are sorted into categories eg. Bread, seafood, main meals, sides, desserts & baking etc.

I had major issues with my itunes, that now I just have one very very long list of recipes, I do however have noted wieghtwatchers WW, Woollies noted and some TMX recipes, so that if I want a thermomix recipe I just do a search on that, or if I want a custard scroll recipe, I search that. I know I will never use them all and more than likely not even a lot, it was something to do and it cleared out my hundreds of cookbooks. I have however, named the recipe the same as in the book, not put my own name on it to make it easier.
I can't take a lot of credit as all I did was cut them up, she scanned and renamed them.
