Los Angeles Times California Cookbook
First to recommend
Description
I use the California Cookbook at least once a month, mostly for recipes that are a little too West Coast-centric for Joy and the other oldies, but too old-fashioned or boring for Epicurious. Browsing through this collection of 650+ recipes from the paper’s archives, it doesn’t take long to stumble across dishes from one-time celebrities — Mahalia Jackson, Lawrence Welk, Polly Bergen — and popular restaurants of yore. (Remember The Velvet Turtle? The Hungry Tiger?) Each recipe has a little piece of marginalia that introduces its source, adding a bit of backstory and flair. (via Married ...with Dinner)

The recipes are fantastic, but you have to be a bit of an advanced cook.

The San Francisco Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market Cookbook
First to recommend
2 people recommended this item
Description
The subtitle's "A Comprehensive Guide to Impeccable Produce Plus Seasonal Recipes", but it's oh-so-much more than that. Filled with recipes culled from dozens of cookbooks, plus personal interviews with favorite farmers and purveyors... a must-have for Bay Area residents and a fantastic gift for anyone who loves San Francisco.

Description
One of my favorite go-to cookbooks for seasonal ingredients -- a great resource even if you don't live in the Pacifc Northwest.

The Glass Pantry
First to recommend
Description
It's not a comprehensive guide -- you can't go looking for a specific recipe, most likely -- but there's at least one good (and beautifully photographed) recipe for most every seasonal ingredient. (via Married... with dinner)

Williams-Sonoma: Mexican
First to recommend
Description
I really expected this to be a dumbed-down cookbook, but this is a credible little collection. It's authored by Marilyn Tausend, a not-terribly-famous but well-regarded authority on Mexican cooking, so I guess that shouldn't surprise me.
It's definitely not a must-have for anyone who knows even the basics of Mexican cooking, and I don't know if a beginner would ultimately be well served by such a slim offering, but it's beautiful and oddly comprehensive for such a small volume.

The Babbo Cookbook
First to recommend
4 people recommended this item
Description
Love him or hate him, Molto Mario's more than just a Food Network pretty boy. Unlike a lot of so-called "star chefs", he actually puts his money where his mouth is. In a city full of fabulosu restaurants, Babbo's known as a no-compromises joint -- and this cookbook will help you recreate many of the restaurant's signature dishes. Set aside an afternoon for prep (and maybe a morning for shopping, while you're at it), and you'll be cooking up dishes that will make your Nonna weep with happiness.
