It’s been a good yr for cookbooks, nearly as if authors had a few years of pent-up brilliance simply ready to burst forth. (I surprise why?) In truth, 2022 was such a great yr, I snuck in a mid-year roundup as an excuse to put in writing about extra of them. Now at yr’s finish, there’s a pleasing continuation of the theme of what it means to be an American, together with some eye-catching and useful design. Finally, I persuaded Celia Sack at San Francisco’s Omnivore Books to share a few of her favorites—thanks Celia! Show native booksellers some love this yr and purchase by means of Omnivore or your native store. (We’re supplied loads of hyperlinks beneath.) Cheers!
