Spanish Food: Enjoy Delicious Spanish Food at Home (2nd Edition)

by BookSumo Press

Offer of free ebooks, table of contents where recipes are not in any specific order.

As with other works by Book Sumo there are a lot of full page color photos of the area, some not having to do with food at all. They could make a new book from them all.

Each recipe starts with a title and to far right hand corner is a spot where this is listed-under a darker background sometimes, making it impossible to see:

Prep and total time, servings and some nutritional information-not sure of portion size: calories, fat-NOT broken up into good or bad, carbs, protein, cholesterol and sodium.

Main part of the recipe lists the ingredients and you should be able to substitute for your healthier dietary needs: low sodium, low fat, low sugar and fresh vs. canned items.

Directions are given. There are NO pictures. Like that they do define in English what the title is.

Not really impressed, have seen other books that are so much better.

Instant Pot: The Complete Instant Pot Cookbook for Fast & Healty Pressure Cooker Meals! (Instant Pot Slow Cooker, Instant Pot Book, Crock Pot 1)

by Maria Hopkins

Table of contents where recipes are broken up into meals and food categories.

Intro and a lot of material included about your instant pot.

Recipes are included also but not written out like a recipe. They are just a paragraph of what to put in the pot and how to make it, NOT using the instant pot at all.

Food recipes start with a title and servings.

List of ingredients and  you should be able to substitute for your healthier dietary needs: low sodium, low fat, low sugar and fresh vs. canned items.

Directions are given and there are tips at the end.

There are NO pictures and NO nutritional information.

Not all recipes start at the top of a new page.

Some recipes call for ready made foods, I'd rather use scratch items so I control what goes in the meal.

Wish titles were in a larger font so I could actually find them in between all the recipes on a page.

Do like the section on preserving fruits that is something you don't see in other instant pot cookbooks.

Not really impressed with this book the one that came with the pot is fine.

Lots of choices but to me these are just appetizers.

Mushrooms: Discover the Wonders of Mushrooms with Delicious Mushroom Recipes (2nd Edition)  by BookSumo Press

Very colorful full page photos, not always of food, book should be separated from recipes in my opinion.

Table of contents where recipes are not in any specific order.

Each recipe starts with a title and to far right in dark background with black lettering that I can't see is listed:

prep and total time, servings, some nutritional information, not sure of size of portion: calories, fat, NOT broken up into good or bad, cholesterol, sodium carbs and protein.

Main page has list of ingredients and how to make the dish.

Lots of different choices to select from.
