Cookbooks

Cooking the Books: For the first installment of our new series, we tested out Nosrat's recent, critically acclaimed cookbook, a trove of hard-won kitchen secrets from the California-based chef. Here's what we loved — and really loved — about it.

Thibault explores Acadian food history and women's kitchen work through old family recipes.

Soo Kim, Chatelaine’s food editor (and recipe genius) on the books every home cook should own.

Full of fresh inspiration for the season, these books are packed with recipes that will speed up dinner, compete with your favourite takeout and teach you indispensable tips on the fundamentals of cooking.

From family classics to gorgeous, inspiring and informative tomes — these are the books we've been reading this year.
