Happily, fall is also big for cookbook releases! There are so many amazing cookbooks recently out and coming out between now and the end of the year — far too many to list here, and far too many for my limited budget. So here are my must-have cookbooks of fall, the ones I’m most excited about. It’s an eclectic mix of sweet and savory cookbooks by both beloved food writers and chefs and cooks who are new to me. I love a cookbook that tells a story, so I’ve included plenty of books that focus on particular cuisines and communities. And while I do love learning new techniques and trying new flavors — especially this time of year — I don’t always have the time (or desire) to devote hours and hours to cooking. So I’ve included cookbooks that focus on quick, easy meals, as well as cookbooks full of the kind of exciting inspiration I crave when I have a whole afternoon and some energy. Get ready to get hungry! In need of some cooking inspiration while you wait for these books? Check out these new cookbooks to level up your culinary skills and this list of some of the best cookbooks of 2022. And if you, like me, are revved up about fall baking thanks to the return of The Great British Bake Off, take a look at our cookbook showdowns for chocolate cake, apple pie, and ginger cookies!
