This gift guide has a book for each of the unique cooks on your holiday shopping list. Everyone from the solo eater to the CSA junkie to the science-minded inquisitive cook to the time-pressed weeknight chef to the hardcore griller—they're all covered on this list of our favorite cookbooks of 2011.Weekend Cook and Tell Round Up: Cookbook Keepers
For last week's Weekend Cook and Tell we asked all of you to share your Cookbook Keepers, the volumes that have served you best over the years. We're talking about the spatter-stained, dog-eared cookbooks, the ones that are home to the recipes you turn to again and again. So, what are the MVPs of your cookbook shelves? Let's take a look.Enter to Win a Copy of the 'Alinea' Cookbook
Grant Achatz's Alinea cookbook came out back in 2008, but it's getting more attention now with the release of Modernist Cuisine and all of Achatz's new projects (read more about them in our interview). Even if you don't picture yourself making spheres of beet juice or mozzarella balloons every night, it's still a fun book to have on the shelf. Enter to win one of the five copies we're giving away here.The Crisper Whisperer: Two Smart, Gorgeous Cookbooks for Vegetable Lovers
As the "mostly plants" approach edges its way into the popular mindset, it's been a kick to see vegetable-heavy cookbooks by well-known authors springing up from the verdant ground of the major publishing houses. These two new books (one very new, one a rock star from 2010) are among my favorites in this category.'Modernist Cuisine' by Nathan Myhrvold: The Ultimate Cookbook
To describe Modernist Cuisine as "a cookbook" is a bit like describing Mount Everest as a hill. With 2,438 pages—3,216 full color photographs and 1.1 million words—Modernist Cuisine will surely be the longest, most thorough examination of food ever published. It hits the market next month with a price tag of $625. The ink alone weighs over 4 pounds—that's about the same as Thomas Keller's entire French Laundry Cookbook.Seriously Asian: Top 6 Asian Cookbooks of 2010
Judging by the comments in our Best Cookbooks of 2010, it looks like some readers are hankering for a list of our favorite Asian Cookbooks from 2010. Given the wide variety of books that fall under the umbrella category of "Asian," there were quite a few contenders. We were most drawn to the cookbooks that offered both excellent instruction and a distinctive voice, inspiring cooks in the kitchen.Gift Guide: The Ten Best Cookbooks of 2010
Staring at my towering stacks of cookbooks, I realized that unlike compilers of other top-ten lists, I had the distinct advantage of testing multiple recipes from each and every book we've featured. And for me, when it comes down to judging a cookbook, it's the success (or failure) of the recipes that counts for the most points.The Observer's Top 50 Cookbooks of All Time
Observer's food magazine, Observer Food Monthly, brought together a panel of cooks and food writers to select the 50 best cookbooks of all time. Of all time! As in, there's one from 1570 (#49 Opera dell'arte del Cucinare by Bartolomeo Scappi—you know, just in case you have some Renaissance popes over for lunch). The list ranged from Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking to the Momofuku Cookbook to many British cookbooks, including those by Jamie Oliver, Fergus Henderson, and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. Do you agree with the list? Have you cooked from many of the books?Seriously Asian: 'The Wei Chuan Cookbook' Was My 'Joy of Cooking'
In many households there is a venerable old cookbook, worn and brittle, sitting among the newer books and magazines in the kitchen. For a lot of American households this might be Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, or The Joy of Cooking by Irma Baumgarten. Representing as they do the tastes of their period, the recipes in these tomes transcend judgment; besides which, old-school bechamel sauces and old-fashioned meatloafs are good, even if we consider them dated.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
