Jessica Fisher Cookbooks

In addition to raising and homeschooling six kids and blogging here at Life as Mom, I’ve also written four cookbooks, published by the Harvard Common Press, now an imprint of Quarto Books.

It’s thanks to Life as Mom readers in the early days of the internet that I received valuable feedback on my recipe development and ease of freezer cooking planning. Thank you so much for being part of the process as well as for encouraging the purchase of these books.

All of my recipes can be found on my food blog, Good Cheap Eats.

You can find them on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, in your favorite independent bookstore, and your local library. I’m a huge fan of making sure a cookbook is the right fit for you, so check one out from the library first to see if my food vibe matches yours. I hope it does!

Good Cheap Eats: Everyday Dinners and Fantastic Feasts for $10 or Less

The first Good Cheap Eats cookbook is quite possibly my favorite. It includes the family-favorites that my kids were raised on. I’ve also updated recipes that my mom, grandma, and aunts served generations of kids — on a budget.
