Many titles that would be in our review below were shelved until September or October mainly in the effort to allow the authors to tour to promote those titles.… read more

Here we are in a new decade! I am busy updating our post looking forward to cookbooks in 2020 and working on judging cookbooks again this year for James Beard.

After October's windfall of cookbooks, November's offerings pale in comparison but just in the number of releases, not in the quality of those books. This month we have titles from Joanne Chang, Nancy Singleton Hachisu, Toni Tipton Martin and the revised and updated edition of The Joy of Cooking along with two titles from Great British Bake-Off contestants. We have… read more

My favorite months are just around the corner ready to make their entrance with cooler temperatures and a whirlwind of cookbook releases. The fall and winter months here in the US are my favorite. The arrival of the months ending with "ber" signifies more baking and hours spent by the fireplace reading cookbooks. In preparation, I've spent a few hours… read more

Recently, I spoke with Maggie Green on her Cookbook Love podcast about a few highly anticipated titles. In our excitement, we veered off track and in one hour it… read more

It's the most wonderful time of the year but a much calmer time for cookbook releases. Truthfully, the hustle and bustle of the last few months is somewhat missed but also a relief from the rush. I welcome the time to enjoy some of the new cookbooks, bake and return to normal work days. I've been spending time preparing promotions,… read more

It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's not yet the holiday season but this month and next make me believe the line "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus."  When I set up this review post, I told Jane "oh, it shouldn't take long I have it about 75% done already".

In my part of the world (Colorado) the temperatures are cooling off a bit and soon the leaves will begin their transition to hues of yellow and orange.

Cookbook publishing slows down a bit from May until July which is bittersweet. I love the rush of books but also find the slower months leaves more time to dig into new titles more deeply. This month was a bit smaller in number but I've weeded through about seventy-five books to bring you those titles you should know about! If… read more

Does it seem to you, as it does to me, that the previous month's roundup was just published and here I am already rounding up another? Sometimes keeping up with it all feels like I'm herding cats. Publication dates change, titles change, covers change and I strive to make sure it is all correct and fresh and interesting for our… read more
