Thank you for taking the time to help us out.
The first thing we need it for you to answer our short poll. Your input is invaluable to us.
Below is a list of a few of the cookbooks we have ready to go. These are books that we think have the most wide-ranging appeal. But we are a small group and quite biased in our choices.
We need you to help us pick out the 5 cookbooks that you would MOST like to see winging their way to you in the first email.
We have ALL of the cookbooks below written and ready to go. You will get ALL of them eventually with your Free Subscription. But for now we want to know which 5 below are the most enticing to you? Which ones would you most like to get and cook from? Which cookbooks would make you stop and subscribe if you were seeing an ad or link? Got it?
Not only will this help us decide what to send to you — but it will also shape the future of the Free Cookbook Club, by telling us what would be our most popular option for attracting new subscribers once the site is up and running for real (more on this important aspect in a couple days).
NOTES
- Pick only up to five, please. You may choose less, if you like.
- There is a box in the last choice where you can add a cookbook that we have not listed, if you like. Note that your addition will appear on the list from then on and may be what others are looking for also.
- Please leave us comments below the poll if you have more to say. Feel free to say anything. Make suggestions, give us your opinion, tell us you have recipes to send us 🙂 — whatever.
Thank you so much for your help.
PS – One more thing — Over the past 3 years we’ve kept busy researching, making and even creating original recipes for our new site. The pictures at the top and bottom of this page are just a few of the dishes you can expect to see very soon.

I want quick and easy recipes of all kinds.
September 23, 2018 @ 8:14 am
RoseAnn,
Thank you for visiting.
So far we have tried to include a good mixture of easy and challenging recipes in each cookbook – Or what we have been calling “Weeknight” and “Weekend” recipes, here at the sprawling Free Cookbook Club World Headquarters. 😉 We have in the works, collections that should cover the whole gamut – Easy Weeknight Recipes, Comfort Foods, “Company is Coming” Over Recipes, etc.
Let us know how we are doing as we go along. Thanks.
Mark

We all depend on the internet so much nowadays that a lot of really wonderful time tested, family tradition or just down right wonderful recipes never go past our kitchens or our families and best friends kitchens! I would live to see a book of family favorites, much like the cookbooks put out by church or other organizations with fantastic, time honored favorites! Nothing like trying and finding new favorites, but what family function doesn’t have at least one or two delicious dishes that we all look forward to every Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter dinner? It would just not be the same without those dishes honoring the special occasion! Yes, a lot more work, but I know for a fact that my children would love to have a place to go where Grandma’s dinner buns or mom’s fettuccini Alfredo recipe will be there for them when we are long gone!
September 22, 2018 @ 3:11 pm
Maxine,
Thank you for visiting and the long thoughtful comment. Everything you said is spot-on and shared by all of us.
We don’t want to give away all of our ideas just yet – but I tell you that you nailed several of them.
We have a growing collection of community, church, club and school recipe books and have already included many recipes from them (when we have the rights, of course) in our cookbooks. We’ll also share some on the web.
Likewise, we want to tap our talented subscribers for their favorite homemade and family recipes. We plan to do this by Subject or Topic (Such as your favorite family Spaghetti Recipe. Or recipe for homemade Ice Cream.) so that we can make a complete book of them.
We love the idea of special occasion collections. Holidays, seasonals, big events (ex. Superbowl). Yeah. Great idea. Expect many of these.
Thank you. And send us Grandma’s dinner buns AND Mom’s Fettuccini Alfredo recipes. 😉

Oh I can not wait for this site to get started and always look for new recipes to try. Thank you so much

What a Great idea this is!! I would like to be able to see more gluten-free and dairy-free alternatives as well! No one in my family is celiac, but, wheat and barley causes inflammation in me in a most painful way!! Dairy tears up my son’s stomach like crazy!! It would be nice to have a collection in book form and not have to hop form one site to another. There are many wonderful and beautiful sites on the internet that are gluten and a few dairy-free, but, I like being able to go to just one place when I am in a hurry, and not have to skim through all the chatter talking about the recipe/s I want to fix!!! I look forward to receiving more emailings from y’all in the future! Y’all are really on to something great here!! More power to you!! Keep up the great work!! Thank you!!
September 23, 2018 @ 8:24 am
Abi,
Wow! Thank you so much for the kind words. We will do our best to live up to your expectations. It’s gonna be fun.
As for gluten-free and dairy-free alternatives books – We are definitely intending to do some of these — as well as other lifestyle and diet books (Keto, Whole30, Paleo). But they will be further down the road. Each lifestyle and diet has its own “set of rules” and we do NOT want to give anyone wrong information. So we are looking for people who actually live and use these restricted diets to partner with us to make sure we get EVERYTHING right.
And have this great BETA Team (that’s YOU!) advising us will be a big, BIG help.
Even though we haven’t gone out of our way to do it, you will probably find several recipes in most books that will meet your wishes.
Thanks again,
Mark

Looking forward to seeing the recipes on the free e-cookbooks! Thanks for your time in creating them. Know that it was LOTS of work!!!
September 23, 2018 @ 8:31 am
Celia,
Thanks for visiting and leaving the kind words for us. We are looking forward to bringing the books to you and cooking with you.
Yes — It was hard work. But it has been a blast. A delicious blast! 😉
Look for an email soon explaining what we did to make the books. It should be (we hope) fascinating reading.
Mark

September 23, 2018 @ 10:26 am
Taking the time — and of course hard work — to do what you are doing for us is something few people would do and I personally want to take a few minutes out of my life to thank you. I will be waiting with great anticipation till I receive that first book. I have always loved your recipes. You have me as a member for life. Great Job.
September 23, 2018 @ 10:33 am
Sharron,
Wow! Wow!! Thank you so much for the very kind words. We think you — and everyone — are really going to love this new site and the community we hope to build around it. With people like you helping us, we know we are on the right track and can totally do it.
We look forward to cooking with you.
Mark
September 23, 2018 @ 3:19 pm
It’s been so long, I thought you gave up on the idea 😉
September 24, 2018 @ 8:48 am
Barbara,
Ha! Fooled you.
Seriously, no, it was just way harder to work out all the details than we thought it would be. None of us are computer whizzes. Making the cookbooks was fairly straight forward but everything else — from email to distribution — has been a learning process.
Now that it is almost here we are glad we stuck with it and glad you stuck with us. This is gonna be fun.
Mark
September 23, 2018 @ 4:07 pm
Great idea can’t wait to get started. Loved the fact that the recipes on restaurant copy all worked really well.
September 24, 2018 @ 8:51 am
Thom,
Thanks. We can hardly wait, too. But there is still a lot to do between now and opening.
Thanks for the kind words about the recipes. We try to find the best ones we can. That’s the same way we have approached the new site — searching out the best, most interesting recipes.
What we are looking forward to is down the road when we can tap the knowledge and imaginations of you, our community, to create even better and more exciting recipe books to share with everyone.
Thanks for coming along on the ride.
Mark
September 23, 2018 @ 8:22 pm
I am so excited for these free cookbooks. Can barely stand the wait. Thanks.
September 24, 2018 @ 8:52 am
Susan,
Thanks. We are, too — but there is still so much to do. We hope we will be ready.
It’s gonna be fun, tho.
Mark
September 24, 2018 @ 8:29 am

Thank you, thank you….and this is free? Very excited! Just got a 36”griddle …is there such a recipe book for griddles, I don’t know but looking forward to all of the different cook styles. You are appreciated ! Again thank you.
September 25, 2018 @ 8:55 am
Dana,
Thank you! And, yes, the cookbooks will be free.
We don’t have a griddle cookbook…yet. But now we will! Thank you for the idea. We have gotten so many great ideas on the poll and comments — things we would never have thought of.
This is gonna be fun!
Mark
September 24, 2018 @ 9:03 am
Always looking for new recipes! I know these will be great! Thank you.

Trying new recipes is a BIG reasons we started SCRR and this new site is that we LOVE to try new recipes. We are most excited to get going so that we can get — and try! — recipes from our community of readers from all around the world.
So many great foods to eat!!!

Thanks.

I’m very happy and excited with my cooking prospects now. Thank you very much! (By the way, “recipes is misspelled a few times in the list.)
September 25, 2018 @ 9:31 am
Vanessa,
Thank you for the kind words. We are very excited, too. We look forward to sharing recipes with you and GETTING new recipes from everyone!
Ha. I would not be surprised. I had to type the same word “Recipes” after each of those, since we tend to leave it off of our filenames. Thanks for watching. This is a topic (spelling and grammar mistakes) that we need you, our BETA Members, to help us with. We have an email coming that explains what we will need. It is very easy.
Thanks again.
Mark
September 25, 2018 @ 10:39 am

September 25, 2018 @ 2:29 pm
I really cannot wait for this to come together almost every recipe I have came from your site, I love trying new recipe’s for my husband and son and they enjoy all the new recipe’s that I try and they are very honest in letting me know wheather to keep it or not. So hurry we cannot wait !
September 26, 2018 @ 4:30 pm
Debbie,
Wow! Thank you and thank the guys for us.
One thing we have in the works for this new site that we think you and everyone will love are pages that you can review the recipes and offer suggestions, tips and even changes to all your fellow readers. It think this will be a wonderful addition to our community.
Mark
September 25, 2018 @ 7:27 pm

October 13, 2018 @ 9:40 am
Ann,
Thank you for the kind words.
It has proven to be quite a bit more complicated than we thought it would be. The recipes and books were pretty easy — and fun. It’s the building the sites and all the blasted legal hoops we had to jump through that have surprised us and slowed us down.
But it is almost here now. And we are excited and relieved.
We can hardly wait, too.
Mark

Spicy food i cant wait
October 12, 2018 @ 1:21 pm
I can’t wait.
Will we be able to get more than the 5 we voted for?
There are more than 5 I would like.
October 13, 2018 @ 9:55 am
Jeanne,
Thank you for writing.
Oh, Wow! I hope I did not give everyone this impression. Yes, you will get ALL of the cookbooks listed and many, many more as long as you stay signed up.
We wanted to know which 5 books were the more “enticing” to help us know which we should use in on ads for Free Cookbook Club in the future. We want people to signup. Offering the more popular books upfront will help us get them to.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Mark
October 12, 2018 @ 1:31 pm

Thanks for joining us.
