Hi Everyone,

I am a 60yr. old widow and am looking for great, simple recipes for one with no leftovers. I enjoy cooking and eating not storing leftovers. I enjoy seafood, beef and pork dishes along with salads. (Beverages would also be welcome)

As to the book - it would depend on the price and the type of recipes.

Being married to a chef and having a son who is an Executive Chef of a 5 start resort, I have never cooked. However I have hundreds of Cookbooks, probably over 1000. But I love them all and read them like novels.

I like your idea if it is not expensive, as $$$ are getting fewer and fewer the older I get.

The type of cookbook I would like would be something so simple that I might even try to cook someday, with our grandchildren around so they would remember their Grandma Darlene in the kitchen as well as Papa Chuck.

Hi Ron,
The idea sounds great. I would like BBQ, SlowCooker, 1 Pot meals, etc. Have lots but this might be a good way to get some other recipes.

It’s a good idea, but being retired with an unemployed husband doesn’t leave me with money to buy something like this. Wish I could.

Not for me.
I don’t need any more cook books. I am compiling in the computer now and merely print out what I need.

SharonB41 · July 13, 2011, 1:11pm

sounds like a good idea, i would love to be able to purchase cookbooks, but finances wont allow me, but it does sound like a good idea, i say go for it.

charly_c · July 13, 2011, 1:12pm

I think it is a great Idea and I like everyday recipes and Meat recipes !!!

dorio · July 13, 2011, 1:13pm

Always looking for bbq ideas anytime of the year and recipies that call for everyday items in the kitchen. So tired of wanting to make something I finding out I need ingredients that are used only for that recipe

Home-style cooking recipes!

Ron-Douglas:

We are considering launching the “Recipe Secrets Cookbook of The Week Club” for a limited number of VIP members (probably 200 or so).

According to Amazon.com, ebooks sales have surpassed sales of physical books. The main reason is because there is no wait - you can get the information instantly on your computer and simply print out whatever you want on demand.

Cookbook of the Week Club members will receive a new cooking ebook each week. At an average of $10 per ebook, this is easily a $40 value - but members will only pay a fraction of that (more details to come).

This exclusive group will also receive our most current secret recipes before they are featured in the free newsletter along with many other bonuses.

To qualify and be notified when it’s available, please answer the follow two questions:

What do you think of this idea?

What type of cookbooks would you be interested in (other than copycat recipes)?

Sounds like a good idea for ebooks as they have surpassed all regular books, from what I’ve read.
I get all the recipes I need online, am not in terested in any cookbooks at the moment.
Thank You
Linda Bye

I like the idea very much.

I understand the VIP concept, but see no real reason for any limit. I think if you limit it, you’re just limiting the amount of $$ you can make.

dbs241 · July 13, 2011, 1:16pm

I think it’s a good idea! I’d be interested in all sorts of recipes from around the world. I’d look for recipes that aren’t too complicated and that have ingredients I can find at my local grocer. Especially pasta recipes, high-protein recipes and recipes that don’t use a lot of packaged ingredients that contain MSG.

jschladoer · July 13, 2011, 1:17pm

I think this is a great idea! If the price is less than $10, you will have a lot of takers.

I am a cookbook and recipe addict! Love to collect almost any kind of book.

Ron:

Your idea of a cookbook club is great but I do believe that 52 ebooks a year is overload.
I enjoy receiving your emails and checking on many of the recipes but I have so many cookbooks (more than 100 now) I do not intend to purchase any more for the present.

I am very appreciate of what you are doling, but working full time prevents me from
experimenting too often.l Keep up the good work and all the best.

I like the idea very much, and am definitely interested.

I would like to see…pretty much any kinds of cook books. I love to cook, and I like variety. Some that featured quick and tasty meals would be great!!

cathystidham · July 13, 2011, 1:17pm

i think it is a great idea i hope they will also be available for computers too. i like casserole cookbooks,soup casserole, desert cookbooks, slowcooker cookbooks, healthy cooking cookbooks, country cooking cookbbooks, southern cooking cookbooks, barbeque cookbooks, diabetic cooking cookbooks. i hope this helps

mrc4 · July 13, 2011, 1:19pm

sounds okay i like the idea depends on the cost and what is avaible Oriental and southern cooking

Jeannette_Fitch · July 13, 2011, 1:20pm

Money is tight for me too, but if you were going to add something that I would be specifically interested it, how about vegetarian (for me specifically lacto-ovo vegetarian). I would probably buy something like that for the simple reason that too many of the world’s recipes I have to convert somehow to be edible for me. Something that would be really cool for me would be the copy-cat recipes already converted to vegetarian.

kavitalad · July 13, 2011, 1:20pm

That’s a great idea!

Here are the type of cookbooks i would be interested in: quick and healthy meals, easy to make snack recipes for children, recipes for slowcooker

steveieareno · July 13, 2011, 1:21pm

I have a very nice collection of rare and hard to find cookbooks…I am kind like an accumulator…I like to hold it in my hand. I want books…hundards of them, the rarer the better.
