Applecrisp: As a caution and in case you didn't notice, I've updated my response to you about gift you thought of getting your friend (Bigger Bolder Baking). Several reviewers reported getting really damaged hardcover books. It's so strange. Catbatty -- Thx so much for the info. I tried (and liked) a few of her recipes but it has been a few years -- so unfortunately don't recall which ones other than I think a simple chocolate cake and some cookies.

For French cuisine, I enjoy reading the book of Alain Ducasse recently, actually I found the recipe very clear and easy to follow, it is easy to get the books, also could try them out Here , they have some good recipes well explained And I love to watch recipe videos, I found some good instructions for asian cooking. I mean it is hard to read the asian book I guess, but a lot of the videos are low quality or just aren't that delicious. So I found out several good author to follow, like: * wang gang, he is a Chinese chef and really really skilled. and he has a very funny and real uncle haha I love hime.... expemple here with the uncle cooking together * Lei's simple life, a new channel and the recipes are authentique and well explained in English too, she has 3 languages versions and you could see she is quite skilled too.... a recipe soooo good hereAnd for Japanese cooking, I love to read some books Japanese Soul Cooking by Tadashi Ono & Harris Salat, bought it from a local book store. I often try different types of cookings and the result sometimes is very suprising..... Nice cooking day

One I would have overlooked had in not shown up often in a FB group is 100 Cookies. I have a lot of baking books and have gotten to the point that I thought I would be hard pressed to ever "need" another cookie books. In addition, this title makes it sound like one of those run of the mill standard cookies repeated or restated in ways you wished they hadn't bothered, but I was wrong. If you have seen the popular Neapolitan Cookies on the internet, that is perhaps the most popular recipe from the book. Good -- and I want to try some of the 3rd flavor variations I've seen people making (blueberries instead of strawberry, pistacchio, etc.), but you really owe it to yourself to try the Raspberry Rye Cookies. The ones we made were darker -- my rye flour was whole grain, but the the flavor couldn't have been better. We made them while my son and his GF were here, but for just DH and me, I would bake a few then freeze balls of dough and thaw then add the fresh raspberry in the center to bake a few at a time because fresh baked they are perfection.

Thank you, Beth. I would love to hear about any others you try from that book. I have the book in Ebook format!!! Looks like it gets many MANY happy reviews!!!  I am excited. Can you tell??!! I got it from the library and have not opened it yet. OH BOY! Here is one of mine I want to try soon: I took it to bed about a week or two ago and have not been able to get it out of my mind. It's only enough dessert for two, but I am intrigued to try some of the good looking recipes. (The so few groceries to waste on testing is one thing that appeals to me. Plus, I really enjoyed reading the author's comments. Everything looks so doable and yummy. ): Dessert For Two: Small Batch Cookies, Brownies, Pies, and Cakes by Christina Lanewww.amazon.com/Dessert-Two-Small-Cookies-Brownies/dp/1581572840/ref=sr_1_1

Not a cookbook, but noticed Eating Well Mag is on sale for $3.75 (subject to change in 20 seconds knowing Amazon).
Anyone get cooking magazines? I did see a popup on my laptop advertising Cooking Light (I think it is being published 4x a year or something). I've never seen the mag since they joined with Eating Well. Anyone buy/subscribe?

I read about this one a few days ago. I've tried a few of her recipes in the past, and they have all been really good! This book looks interesting (the chickpea recipe in the preview pages on Amazon sounds great). Hard to believe I haven't been in a library in a year. Off to see if they have this in kindle form (I need some "reading" while on the train). Simply Julia: 110 Easy Recipes for Healthy Comfort Food

I WANT EM ALL!!!!
Just got back from the thriftstore with $16 worth of books. Sounds like nothing much? Au contrare! (Did I spell that correctly?)
FOR ELEVEN BOOKS??!! I could not help myself. Senior day = 40 percent off marked price (and marked price usually no more than $3.29). AND get one free for every 4 u buy.
I bought several more GOOD HOUSEKEEPING cookbooks. Heck, they TRIPLE test their recipes, so they say. That alone thrills me. And Candy Making for Dummies. (Ok, so I've been having some cravings and no store=bought candy has interested me AT ALL in months.) Maybe it's time to make some at home. Turtles. I wouldn't mind some of those...

Ooooh... a NEW cookbook will be out in November: Bittman Bread: No-Knead Whole Grain Baking for Every Daywww.amazon.com/Bittman-Bread-No-Knead-Whole-Grain-Baking-ebook/dp/B08NWT2VC5/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=mark+bittman&qid=1633108995&s=books&sr=1-4I am OVER_THE_MOON excited to buy this book!! I rec'd a rough of it...unedited copy...a .pdf from NetGalley. I began reading it from the first page and became glued to it. (I've suggested my husband do the same and he is!) If you want to read the preview, you could always join Netgalley and request a copy. Mind you: it's a draft copy. After reading it so far, I want to spend the $20 to get a Kindle copy when released Nov16. In fact, I CAN'T BEAR THE WAIT!!!!! I believe his method is easier and quicker than those we've read about or tried. As I understand it: First time ONLY you do use a packaged yeast...but never again after that first Beginner loaf. You will yank off a piece of that first raw dough and THAT becomes your starter for the next loaf. That first time is WHITE bread. After that you will make whole grain breads, each time using the starter piece from the last loaf. (Starters are fed with some flour and water.) His method uses Dutch oven, lined with parchment paper...majority bake in covered pot. THEN, removed and placed on oven rack for final bake. The thing that struck me most about what I've read so far, is EASE OF READ--reading the book. (My husband reminds me that Bittman claims his bread actually TASTES better than when using other methods.) We are both pretty rev'd up to get our hands on the final edit in November. I suspect my husband won't wait and will back from this rough. I hope it's not all that rough for that reason.

I often browse the new release shelves at the library and end up picking out all kinds of different things. One that came from this venture was The Defined Dish by Alex Snodgrass. Most of the recipes are pretty simple and quick, which I appreciate.  She has a new cookbook out in December that I'm looking forward to!

i just bought this. I had a gift card from a bookstore, and this just jumped in my cart. I follow her on instagram and have tried a few of her recipes. I haven't bought a new cookbook in I'm guessing a few years. record broken. It was free for me and have money left on gift card --- free always good.

I'm excited to check out Smitten Kitchen's new book. I'll bet I'll be number 425 on the library list. I'm a big fan of her and her website (even when just reading her posts). Some of my favorite repeat recipes are from SK, I have her first book; her second book didn't really appeal to me.

I have been falling in love with SO MANY cookbooks lately that I don't even know where to begin.  I will have to make a list, I suppose. I love how food thinking has modernized. More veggies; more spice; more WEIGHTS used, less cups.  (Or, at least: both.) Adding: HERE is one I just got and it makes me so jazzed that I am getting out my bread machine, all excited to whip something wonderful up: The Ultimate Bread Machine Cookbook: Family Recipes For Foolproof, Delicious Bakes by Tiffany Dahlewww.amazon.com/Ultimate-Bread-Machine-Cookbook-Foolproof/dp/1645674460/ref=sr_1_1
