This was given to me and I absolutely love it. Everything turns out beautiful looking and is absolutely delicious, but you may want to take the entire afternoon to make these. While they aren't complicated, they can be lengthy feeling.

Asian cuisine and culture have always been fascinating to me. This book ties the two together and shows you not only how to make the recipes, but where the ingredients come from.

My mother-in-law turned me on to the Moosewood cookbooks, and so I checked out just about every Moosewood cookbook MCL had. I wound up buying this book after checking it out because I loved every single recipe.

One of the difficulties I have when cooking is leftovers because I always forget about them or they just are never good on the second day. Then I found this book. They also have a meat version for you carnivores.

Everything you didn't know you wanted to know about vegetables. Truly.

While it may not be in every chef's kitchen, cookbooks inspired by books are some of my favorites and have surprisingly good recipes. I especially like this one because it's perfect for tea time nostalgia.

If you want to learn how to bake bread this is THE book to read in my opinion.

A modern, inspirational and intimidating cookbook. It does have a ton of swears, but sometimes the food is so good you have to curse.

Ever had a batch of cookies come out flat and crispy instead of fluffy and chewy? That's SCIENCE at work! And, this book will tell you all about it.

"Food52" is a fantastic cooking blog and this is the cookbook that came from that. The author has quite a few interesting tips to provide!

So, I like science, and I like knowing where things come from. This is a super interesting read if you're also into that. And, if you're not, then hey! There's some cocktail recipes in here, too.

I like books (duh). I like themes. And, I like cocktails. So book-themed cocktails? Yes, please!

Ever get a craving for brownies, so you make some and then eat the entire pan because you made them and why share? This book can help make that pan smaller!

So I obviously love GBBO, so I ordered their cookbooks because everything they make has to be fancy and fabulous. I also ordered the books by the contestants, so keep an eye out for those!
