    The Best Cookbooks to Gift for Every Type of Home Cook

    a stack of colorful books

    Cookbooks are one of my favorite gifts to give family and friends each year because they pull double-duty in the gift-ability department: They're useful and often gorgeous, owing to a modern tendency to be filled with high-quality photos or illustrations that often make them perfect for using in the kitchen or displaying as a table book.

    Reading a cookbook has the ability to conjure up visions of delicious meals to be had, cocktails to be drank, and the people you're going to share them with. Plus, unlike a traditional book, skipping around pages on a choose-your-own-adventure and splattering the pages with droplets of marinara are all perfectly acceptable ways to treat your reading experience.

    Both new and old, these are my picks for The Best Cookbooks to Gift for Every Type of Home Cook, organized by 'type of cook' and 'who' in the friend group each person is.

    From the publisher: In The Food Lab, Kenji focuses on the science behind beloved American dishes, delving into the interactions between heat, energy, and molecules that create great food.

In hundreds of easy-to-make recipes with over 1,000 full-color images, you will find out how to make foolproof Hollandaise sauce in just two minutes, how to transform one simple tomato sauce into a half dozen dishes, how to make the crispiest, creamiest potato casserole ever conceived, and much more.

    Flavorama: A Guide to Unlocking the Art and Science of Flavor by Arielle Johnson

    From the publisher: Meet Arielle Johnson—she’s a flavor scientist (she loves flavor so much, she got a Ph.D. in the subject). She spends most of her time helping chefs better understand what’s going on beneath the hood of flavor and make delicious new foods. Now, with Flavorama, she shares this invaluable knowledge with home cooks everywhere. Mixing equal parts fun and braininess, Arielle dives into how chemistry, sensation, and craft unite to create flavor, distilling what flavor really is (molecules!) and how to get it to work for you (spotting patterns, breaking rules) in an easy-to-digest handbook.

    You don’t need a lab or a professional kitchen—or even a background in science—to get something out of the science of flavor. With Flavorama, you’ll be able to easily finesse flavor while cooking to give any dish a little oomph, easily swap out an ingredient for one you have on hand, use a recipe or technique to improvise something new, or boldly replicate a flavor. Out of basil for pesto? Pivot and use mint, shiso, or tarragon—all are members of the same “herbal-aromatic” flavor family—for a new-but-somehow-familiar herb sauce. Or add a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of flaky salt to chocolate ice cream— a simple hack for deliciously complex flavor. Included are 99 recipes so you can hit the ground running with your new science-of-flavor knowledge.

    Zahav Home: Cooking for Friends & Family by Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook

    From the publisher: Award-winning chefs and bestselling authors of the James Beard Award–winning Zahav, Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook invite you to cook the way they do at home, with 125 new recipes for simple and achievable meals.

    Since opening Zahav (the beloved, award-winning, and critically acclaimed restaurant in Philadelphia that serves a powerfully flavorful menu inspired by modern Israeli cuisine) fifteen years ago, co-owners chef Michael Solomonov and Steven Cook have learned at least two things: cooking at home isn’t anything like cooking at the restaurant, and, how to bring Zahav’s signature ideas to the home kitchen.

    As busy fathers, Mike and Steve have also learned that thinking ahead is key. Their secret: a strategically stocked pantry. Then it’s nothing, for example, to slather amba from a jar onto a spatchcocked chicken for an almost-instant roast chicken dinner, or to cook a leg of lamb coated with harissa (also from a jar!) in one pot—on a school night! When they make soups, with all the intense flavors they use at the restaurant, they make a lot of soup, always thinking of the freezer and those busy nights when there’s no time to cook.

      What a great list. I have several on my shelf and wouldn't mind adding a few more. Especially Sean Brock's! We ate at his restaurant Husk in Charleston and it was so tasty!

        I'd love to eat at Husk someday! One of the chefs from Husk, Maya Lovelace, recently opened her own restaurant here in Portland, OR and it is so good!

      I'm currently the girl who has hot pockets in her freezer. I want to be the girl who is rocking the keto lifestyle. So which recommended cook do I chose? Both? I think so.

      This is such a great list of cookbooks! I see some I'd love to add to my collection and share with friends and family. I have a scoby farm so can relate so much to the fermentation comments. Also, the Hygge one looks perfect.

      Wow, this is the definitive list of cookbooks for anyone you might know. I think weeknight baking would be the book I'd enjoy or The Joy of Cooking, even though I own lots of cookbooks. To me classic comfort food is best.
