Free Cookbooks for Review Purpose. Acceptable Practice?
I didn't read all but 2 comments and have to say that you should go for it. I'm a Chef and a paid food writer. I was just sent a new book to review (publisher did not know I was a Chef nor that I have a food blog) via my editor for the mag I write for. As a responsible journalist, I will do my job and impart fair and honest opinions. I've skimmed the book, just today ironically, and already found typos. I've not tried any of the recipes or analyzed them in detail. Ultimately, I will be honest, without being crass or rude... not to get future freebies, but as a way to help them know how real people will feel about the book; it can only help future publications, right?
Perkymac: that's exactly what publishers do: throw books at bloggers withe high viewership. It makes sense. And any food-blogger wouldn't mind getting a freebie every now and then. :)

Yes I read this over the The Kitchn and then went to the Times' site and read up on his debut. How exciting considering it's good to see some simplicity offered in the kitchen, something I'm still trying to get used to.
And any discussion on topics important to chefs, home cooks, foodies, etc.. is only a good thing as we can grow too! :)
Kudos.
