Other EYB features you can use as a library patron

Searching the EYB collection of cookbooks and online recipes
In addition to searching the collection of your own library, you can search EYB's entire database of 170,000 books on food and drink.

  • Click the EYB tab at the top then Books to view the entire collection.
  • You can view the recipe index for any indexed book by clicking the book title. To see which books have been indexed, apply the Indexed filter at top right (or under Filter menu on a phone).
  • In addition to books we have indexed, there are 940+ books in the database created by ckbk, where the full recipe can be accessed (after joining as a ckbk member). To learn more about our partnership with ckbk, read these Help pages.
  • Where a recipe from a cookbook or magazine has been reproduced online with the publisher's permission, we provide a link to the full recipe. We also index many food blogs and newspaper columns where every recipe has a link to the full recipe. There are more than 500,000 recipes where you can access the full recipe with one click. This resource is available to you as a library patron.
