Apples For Jam
Cooking is not one of my most favourite hobbies but this book does make it easier. Tessa's recipes are delightfully entangled with memories of the energy and excitement of her own childhood and hopes for her daughters. These are recipes that have been passed from friend to friend, through the generations of many families and swapped over garden fences. This joyful and eclectic collection is put together with the grace and honesty of a daisy chain. 400 pages, oozing glorious colour and excitement with evocative text and innovative recipes are complemented by beautiful photographs and illustrations.

Forget the 100 Things to Eat Before You Die or the Omnivore's One Hundred lists. This book from National Geographic is a pictorial feast for the senses of the 500 places you have to go to eat all around the world. If I had unlimited funds and an open prescription for xanax for the plane, I'd be in.

As big as a coffee tabletop itself, my copy of the Bouchon cookbook by Thomas Keller never makes its way to my kitchen, but the book is stunning. I love sitting on my couch on a lazy Sunday afternoon flipping through its pages and just dreaming of how delicious the food is. One day, I may actually attempt something in the book, but I just don't want to mess up the beautiful pages in the kitchen.

As a food critic for the New York Times, Frank Bruni was, until August, one of the most feared and talked about men on the city’s restaurant scene. His disguises, his dining companions, and his method of paying are all discussed in Born Round: The Secret History of a Full-time Eater. But mostly, Bruni’s latest work is devoted to deeper and more complicated relationships with food, family, and self-image, starting life as "baby bulimic," struggling with eating disorders...

Well, other than Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Larousse Gastronomique is not precisely a cookbook but an encylopedia, a catalog of culinary terms, techniques and recipes. First published in France in 1938, the book was edited by Prosper Montagné, contained a preface by Georges Auguste Escoffier, and numbered 1087 pages. Larousse was translated into English in 1961, and in 2001 an updated version, expanded a few hundred pages to include more cuisines and photographs and overseen by culinary luminary Joël Robuchon. The book covers a lot of ground, from abaisse (a sheet of pastry) to zuppa inglese (a 19th century Neapolitan dessert), weighs a hefty 8 pounds (useful to weight terrines), and packs in a surprising amount of recipes. It's an awesome book, pleasurably daunting in its scope, and you can see why Child revered it. "If I were allowed only one reference book in my library," she wrote, "Larousse Gastronomique would be it, without question."
