Her cookbook is truly a piece of Black history.

Waffle recipe definitely included.

From superstar athletes like Shaquille O'Neil to hit Netflix shows like "Emily in Paris," these are the best pop culture-influenced cookbooks of 2022.

Q: I recently got back from a fantastic trip to California, and of course did a bunch of wineries and all that, but until this trip I always thought of wine making as more of an art. I realized there’s a lot of science behind it too, and being an engineer by trade, I got pretty geeked out about that.Does anyone know of any beginner books that talk about viticulture and/or enology?

The "Seriously Good Chili Cookbook" will feature recipes from all over the world.

“Flour makes a difference, but don’t obsess about it.”We loved this bit of advice from Daniel Leader’s new book, Local Breads: Sourdough and Whole-Grain Recipes from Europe’s Best Artisan Bakers.It’s also representative of the book’s over-all approach, which continually balances technical bread-baking methods with flexible, playful creativity.

Not only has Mastering the Art of French Cooking become a top seller again almost 50 years after its publication, a first edition is now going for more than $900.00 on eBay! (Original selling price: $10.) But my favorite result of the present MtAoFC mania are these hand-silkscreened tea towels and aprons based on the cover graphics of Volumes I & II. Designer Sara Smedley has created a special edition of linen tea towels and aprons in honor of the release of the film Julie and Julia.

Read on for our suggestions of how to get a food lit or cookbook book club started, tips on how to host a group and a list of suggested titles to get you going.

I love vintage cookbooks! I have a small but growing collection that I’ve gathered from yard sales, used bookstores and the shelves of specialty bookshops like Omnivore Books in San Francisco. As objects of beauty and curiosity, these books are a treasure. But do those old-timey recipes still work in today’s kitchens?

The social media star and former Chopped contestant can now add something else to his resume: cookbook author.

"Just as certain actors led me to acting, certain cooking show hosts are partly to blame for my heightened interest in the subject of food."

Who can say no to a baguette?

An interview with the Top Chef star and Portland chef about his new book which, my friends, is a must-buy.

We caught up with the author of "In Bibi's Kitchen" to talk about the best cooking tip she learned from the grandmothers in her cookbook, where she gets her groceries in New York, and her biggest struggle in feeding herself.

She helped people realize that American stone-ground grits, fresh black-eyed peas, and heirloom pork raised on hazelnuts and persimmons were just as praiseworthy as Italian polenta, spring favas, and prosciutto di Parma.

An admin post in the group absolutely throttles the people who feel they are “crockpot masters” and thus “elevated beyond helping new crockstars.”

"Supporting regional food systems is really the heart of understanding Indigenous foods."

We usually leave this type of thing for our friends over at Ohdeedoh, but we’re absolutely in love with this interactive “Press-Out-And-Play” cooking book for kids! So much so that when it came time to hand it over to its intended 3-year-old recipient, we had a hard time letting it go. Take a look for yourselves!The book takes kids through making breakfast, toasting bread, assembling a sandwich, and creating an ice cream sundae.
