Last minute Xmas gifts:2 ebooks

For procrastinators (and non), Yours For Good Fermentables.com recommends two ebooks as gifts this year. You can get both in just minutes via download.

The first, I've mentioned before.

Amber, Gold & Black, by Martyn Cornell of Zythophile blog fame, is an ebook on British beer styles.

Rather than relying on commonly accepted conjecture, Mr. Cornell has researched actual historical records and reports. And in the process, he may have disabused us of some of our preciously held beer myths (hint: porter, IPA). (See my recent rant on Baltic Porter.) Good stuff, entertainingly written, and stuffed with great pics and old beer labels.



The other is The Vegan Dad Cookbook, just released by Nathan Kozuskanich, who writes a blog as The Vegan Dad.

Culling from recipes he's published at his blog, Mr. Kozuskanich addresses how to cook vegan meals for children —when time is of the essence. (Helpful even for non-children.)

For those occasions when there might be ample time in the kitchen, some of the recipes are more complex —maybe even gourmet-ish.

And, yes, some of the recipes have been prepared in the YFGF kitchen.
