What is inside

30 recipes selected automatically from the Textual Chef recipe index. Spread across cuisines in turn so no single cuisine fills the book, one version per dish. The list is fixed once published, so a later site update never reshuffles a book someone already bought; corrections to the recipe text do reach the file.

30 recipes, median total time 55 minutes, prep included. They come from 30 cuisines, grouped by course. Each one is also free to read on the site; the links below open them.
