This week: Modernist Pizza – October 2021, upcoming Phaidon cookbooks, recipes, cookbook giveaways and EYBD Previews

Exciting cookbook news this week. Modernist Pizza will be released this October. I have been sitting on my fingers to avoid sharing the news until I received the okay. I had added the book to our Library about a week ago but knew it was coming long before. The anxiety of not publishing the announcement nearly did me in. I’m like the Perez Hilton of cookbook gossip without the snarky element. Find out more about this spectacular collection of recipes here and the various preorder incentives available.

There are loads of exciting cookbook titles set for the remainder of this year which is almost halfway over already! My 2021 Preview post contains a breakdown by month of these titles and is kept updated weekly. Highlights of this year’s Cookbooktober include: Sheet Cake by Abby Dodge; Jane’s Patisserie by Jane Dunn (UK); Ottolenghi Test Kitchen (UK, US, CA); Milk Street Vegetables; Bread Ahead by Matthew Jones (UK); Pasta by Missy Robbins; Grains for Every Season by Joshua McFadden; Baking with Dorie; Your Home Izakaya by Tim Anderson; Acorn: Vegetables Re-Imagined by Shira Blustein (CA); The Cookie Bible by Rose Levy Beranbaum; All Day Baking: Savoury, Not Sweet: Pies, Quiches, Galettes, Tarts, Preserves and More by Pippa and Michael James (AU); One Pan Perfect by Donna Hay (AU); Treats from Little & Friday (NZ) is being reprinted; and Mooncakes and Milk Bread by Kristina Kho. There are so many more that have me biting at the bit in anticipation. I will cover these and more in my Cookbooktober preview post in July.

I also wanted to share some of Phaidon’s spectacular titles coming this fall/autumn – click on the book link below for more information on these books and I’ll provide more information in the preview post along with EYBD Previews:
