“What’s more important than recipes is how we think about food, and a good cookbook should open up a new way of doing just that.” ― Michael Symon
October is National Cookbook Month. In observance, this week we share just a few of our favorite contemporary cookbooks. We hope that they will encourage you to try some new dishes in your own kitchen and stand as a reminder, in this digital world, to never forget the joy of laying a cookbook open on your kitchen counter.
