| 1. |  | Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly from Bloomsbury USA Price: $17.15 Customer Review:  By all accounts, this should be a lousy book. The life story of a middle-aged, former substance-abusing, self-described SOB and good-but-not-great chef. In the hands of most people, this would be a rambling, uninteresting memoir that would never see the light of day. The fact that Bourdain pulls it... |

| 2. |  | The New Best Recipe: All-New Edition from America's Test Kitchen Price: $23.10 Customer Review: Don't get me wrong, I love this cookbook. That is, I love reading it and looking at tips on what NOT to do in a recipe, and if I have something particular in mind that I want to cook, I go to this book for a tried-and-true recipe. The major caveat is that, when I want to cook something quickly on a... |

| 4. |  | New Cook Book from Better Homes and Gardens Price: $13.57 Customer Review: The best and most unique feature of this cookbook is that it describes the basic ingredients of food full spectrum: from a very basic level up to an advanced understanding. In an almost textbook-like manner, it details the anatomy of different cuts of meat (with full color photos!) and teaches you... |

| 5. |  | How To Cook Everything: Simple Recipes for Great Food from Wiley Price: $14.93 Customer Review:  This book has a good variety of recipes and useful information about different foods. I have a found a few recipes I liked but I was disappointed the bread recipes assume the reader is using a food processor for everything. It leaves out any information one might need for doing things by hand and... |

| 6. |  | Cookwise: The Secrets of Cooking Revealed from William Morrow Cookbooks Price: $19.80 Customer Review: This book is great to use as a reference tool. The author departs both, scientific insight as to "how and why" things are in the cooking world and practical recipes with which to experiment using her tips. I highly recommend this book for beginners to intermediate level cooks. |

| 8. |  | Alton Brown's Gear for Your Kitchen from Harry N. Abrams Price: $18.15 Customer Review: The wife and I used this book when we registered for our wedding. It was perfect in helping us decide what was really necessary and what was junk that would clutter out kitchen. I highly recommend this book for learning about different types of cooking tools. |

| 9. |  | Wild Fermentation: The Flavor, Nutrition, and Craft of Live-Culture Foods from Chelsea Green Publishing Company Price: $16.50 Customer Review: Lots of great recipes and practical advice for making fermented foods work in your kitchen. Any mentions to his orientation and living situation are made in passing and do not make much difference to the book. If he had thanked his wife and kids instead, nobody would have noticed. |

| 10. |  | How to Grill: The Complete Illustrated Book of Barbecue Techniques from Workman Publishing Company Price: $16.42 Customer Review: The Shrimp recipe alone is worth the price of the book. Can't go wrong with this one. |

| 11. |  | The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry: Love, Laughter, and Tears at the World's Most Famous Cooking School from Viking Adult Price: $16.47 Customer Review:  Reading the description of The Sharper Your Knife, The Less You Cry, gave me high expectations about memoirs of a woman who was willing to follow her heart and fulfill a longtime soulful desire. The testimonial from Elizabeth Gilbert only served to heighten my expectation (espcially since which Ms.... |

| 13. |  | The Petit Appetit Cookbook: Easy, Organic Recipes to Nurture Your Baby and Toddler from HP Trade Price: $11.67 Customer Review: I ordered a copy of Petit Appetit 12/30/08. Unfortunately, the printer didn't notice that they have printed pages 113-144 back to back and omitted pages 145-176. Amazon will take the book back though, if you can part with it even with the printing errors. Worth the risk to order and see what comes,... |

| 14. |  | Don't Panic - Dinner's in the Freezer: Great-Tasting Meals You Can Make Ahead from Revell Price: $10.19 Customer Review: I bought this book along with another to stock up the freezer. The recipes are easy to follow with good descriptions. I typically need photos to make a recipe but the descriptions are enough for me. They make the whole process seem simple and the recipes we have made so far are very good- There is a... |

| 15. |  | Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook: Feasting with Your Slow Cooker from Good Books Price: $11.16 Customer Review: The recipes in this book are a collection of other people's home recipes, most our boring and use can goods. Nothing exciting or different here. There are no nice presentations or pictures of what you might be eating. Save yourself time and money and get a "real cookbook." |

| 16. |  | Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine Book 2009: 32nd Edition from MITCH Price: $10.17 Customer Review: This is a great little book. It has a lot of good information in it, and it's very conveniently sized. Since there's a lot of good about this book, I'll start with what I don't like. First of all, the dust jacket gets in the way. The book has a chart inside the front cover that gives a... |

| 17. |  | The Cast Iron Skillet Cookbook: Recipes for the Best Pan in Your Kitchen from Sasquatch Books Price: $11.53 Customer Review: I am an average cook, so I like easy recipes. This book definitely fits the bill. I plan to use it a lot with my new cast iron skillet. |

| 18. |  | The Dutch Oven Cookbook: Recipes for the Best Pot in Your Kitchen from Sasquatch Books Price: $13.57 Customer Review:  This book has little to do with dutch oven cookery. Because one company calls their cast iron flat bottomed pot a "dutch Oven" (the real dutch oven they call a camp oven) The authors gathered together a group of toney recipes that could be cooked in any pot and foist it off as "The Dutch oven... |

| 19. |  | Jacques Pepin's Complete Techniques from Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers Price: $16.47 Customer Review: I'll start with this: the average cookbook buyer is not going to have the money or the justification for The Professional Chef, The Fundamental Techniques of Classic Cuisine, or the like. For someone learning to cook and wanting a basic reference on the techniques of professional cooking, this book... |

| 20. |  | Jan Karon's Mitford Cookbook and Kitchen Reader: Recipes from Mitford Cooks, Favorite Tales from Mitford Books from Viking Adult Price: $19.77 Customer Review: This is a delightful book. If you are in love with Mitford and its people you will love this. You get all their wonderful recipes with snippets of the books they are in. Fantastic. Guaranteed to make you mouth water, and after making a few of these recipes, you will want to re read Mitford all over... |
