Best cookbooks of the decade?

In addition to their best of the year cookbook list, Eat Me Daily has produced a Best Cookbooks of the Decade list. I'm not sure that I agree with all their choices - too many restaurant chefs in my opinion. They are all indexed on EYB though, with the exception of The Big Fat Duck Cookbook (that $250 price tag is putting me off) and also no EYB member has requested that we index it (everyone else is probably put off by the price tag too).

You can post a comment.

    Do you index recipes manually? So you actually need to own/borrow a copy to do it? What would happen if a member requested it get added?

    Hi, this is Jane from EYB. Yes all the recipes are indexed manually - we or the indexer either owns the books or gets them from the library. If several members request that a book gets indexed we do our best to track it down - our indexers are spread all over the US so we have a choice of library networks. We haven't been stumped yet and I think we would then have to suggest that one of the people who requested it might like to volunteer to index it!
