Over 15,000 books indexed and other EYB/CookShelf tips

We are pleased to announce that over 15,000 books have been indexed – one thousand plus in less than nine months! Our Library has a great mix of new releases, classic cookbooks and even Member Indexed non-English titles! In addition to these titles, we have connected the EYB database to ckbk’s library of digital cookbooks. ckbk is a cookbook subscription site where you can access the full content of over 1,088 great cookbooks, many of which are indexed here on EYB. For all the details, please see this post.

We are also happy to report that we have just started to go back to high priority titles to add page numbers, store-cupboard ingredients, recipe tags and more. For now, we are focusing on those books that have the most unique cooks and have assigned a mix of authors/books from all countries. So far, we have finished up five books and are working on other top titles such as Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Volume One, Joy of Cooking (Complete Revision 1997), The New Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone and Eat: The Little Book of Fast Food.

Along with these books, we have indexed 84 websites and blogs and over 7,000 magazines. We owe all this to our wonderful team at Eat Your Books of Professional Indexers, Member Indexers* and other team members who keep the site current with food news, author and bookstore events, cookbook reviews and giveaways and more. We continue to make improvements to the website and the app. Recently, we set up a cooking goal challenge that you can participate in. For more information, see this post.

We have 116 books currently being indexed, 568,944 online recipes, 2,200 EYBD Previews and 9,511 EYBD Recipes.
