Lis’Anne here… I stumbled upon these free pdf cookbooks from DDV Culinary and had to share. Right Click on a PDF name or the ‘down arrow’, then select Save Target As…
I have a folder on my computer desktop labeled Recipes and all the pdf cookbooks and individual recipes I come across go in it. I like to spend a few minutes (okay, sometimes it turns into hours) perusing this folder as I make up my grocery shopping lists. I don’t always pick something new to make, but when I do, it’s like subjecting my family to a culinary adventure. 
One thing led to another and I ended up finding a few more freebies. Some are historical and some are 21st Century. All FREE!
Free California Walnuts recipe books and nutritional brochures.
A lovely vegetarian cook book that includes recipes for lotions and soaps.
Furmano’s Tomatoes has a free Healthy Meals Made Simple pdf booklet. Inside, you’ll find plenty of recipes your family is sure to enjoy.

OMG, the Brownie & Bar book will do me in. I have a couple other Gooseberry Patch books and their stuff is SOOO good! Mmmmm! Thanks!!
I’m sure I gained a couple of pounds just looking at the cover of that one!
Wow! Thanks for sharing, Lis! I love looking at cookbooks. I may not be a culinary genius but my younger son loves to pick recipes out and make “masterpieces.”
Will definitely have to check out the healthy meals cookbook.
I’m always on the hunt for gluten-free cookbooks for you. I’ve entered a few contests lately and hopefully I’ll win!
No culinary genius here either. Just a girl with a set of measuring cups and spoons.

I’ve always loved cookbooks. When we moved to Florida, I left all the ones I had in storage in Indiana. Thanks to Abigail taking me to the Friends of the Library Book Sale, I now have a pretty good collection down here. Plus all the ones I keep finding on the Net.
I love it when my guys pick out recipes to try.
Ohhh, free cookbooks. Thank you!
You’re welcome, Rebekah! Click on the “Free” link over in the right column and it’ll take you to my other posts full of free cookbooks. Some of them may no longer be free, but it’s worth a look.
