Mr. Food eCookbooks are free, downloadable recipe collections organized around a theme, such as dessert recipes, holiday recipes or recipes in 30 minutes or less. These eCookbooks are PDF documents that can be downloaded from our website, saved to your computer, and/or printed for easy reference while cooking. We think eCookbooks are a great way to offer a free collection of recipes to our users. Our very first eCookbook, Mr. Food Decadent Desserts eCookbook included 43 pages of dessert recipes, including Whoopie Pies, Black Forest Cake and Bite-Sized Chocolate Cheesecake. Our eNewsletter publishing partners at RecipeLion.com also have some great free recipe eCookbooks filled with yummy recipes.
You will need Adobe to access our eCookbooks, but you can download a free copy of Adobe Reader from the Adobe website. If a link in a PDF recipe does not work, type the recipe name into the search box at our website to locate the project and please contact us.
