Cooking Light has a thought-provoking new series going
on, gathered under the name The Cookbook
Awards. Starting last November, each month they've been
announcing the best cookbooks of the last 25 years in 15
categories. The series ends in May 2013. The most recent collection
is American, here's the full list:
They also note that this is a series not just for people looking
for light cooking, "One note about health: There is a
healthy-books category (to be revealed in January), but we did not
apply a health lens when judging other categories. Almost all
cookbooks can be incorporated into a healthy diet by a judicious
cook."
And please remember, as you find intriguing cookbooks in one of
these lists or anywhere, that we have a lot of valuable information
about cookbooks here on the EYB site. You can see ratings from our
knowledgeable membership, note how many EYB members own the book,
view a list of recipes from the indexed books, and there's also a
handy box to allow you to directly buy the book from our site. Just
list the name of the book in our Library - with our collection
of over 100,000 books listed it's a valuable resource.
