Chris Loves Burgers eCookbook Preview: The Reuben Burger

June 30, 2015

It's finally here! Can y'all believe it? This is a huge day for me and I honestly couldn't be more excited, because the cookbooks I've been working on for almost 6 months are finally live and available to all of you! Each one is designed to give you the techniques and context you need to not only master the foods the books are about, but to become a more versatile and thoughtful home cook all around.

CLJ-books initial launch

To order your own copy of Chris Loves Burgers, Chris Loves Tacos & Chris Loves Wings, you can visit our shop and get them now. :)

In celebration of the book launch, we also wanted to give a few previews of some recipes inside the books throughout the day today. As we've talked about, the recipes contained in these books are great, but more important are the techniques. So to learn more about the recipes I'll share today, as well as all the tips that make them awesome, be sure to visit the shop and order your own digital copies. You can download them immediately and be on your way to mastering your kitchen!

The burger I'd like to share with you is based on my favorite sandwich, the Reuben. Appropriately called "The Reuben Burger," this little gem is delicious and juicy, with perfectly balanced flavors. Enjoy, and be sure to check back for two more preview recipes today!

    1. Hi Allison! We actually evaluated Amazon but didn't feel it was a good fit initially. If we do move that way, it probably won't be for awhile.

      That said, the books are actually compatible with the Kindle app and any other eReader, so you can still download them onto all the same devices and just open the files using your reader app.

      I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
