Amazon Prime Day is known for big-ticket purchases, but the Prime Day recipe deals are actually some of the biggest discounts around. They appear on items you’ll use again and again. New kitchen gadgets are great, and if you need discounts on slow cookers, coffee makers, cookware sets, KitchenAid blenders, Vitamix blenders, and a variety of kitchen appliances or gadgets, we have these and more Prime Day deals on Kitchen Tools. However, every home cook should have a recipe book if they don’t already have one (and if you do have a recipe book, it should definitely be a larger one). We’re always perusing new cookbooks to see which ones our readers should read. We’re less fond of books that focus on specific devices (101 Air Fryer Recipes or Essential Instant Pot Recipes). They have limitations and you can use these devices to cook recipes from various books. After checking out the Amazon Prime Big Deal Day sale items, we think these books are worth buying (some are almost 70% off!).
Just a reminder: You must be a Prime member to receive the discount on the list price. If you want to try Prime for free for 30 days, you can purchase it here.
