Best of the Best 2024

We have assembled 353 lists from around the world to create our 16th annual Best of the Best. The top book of 2024 is Ottolenghi Comfort. This probably is not a big surprise to members who have been following our Best of the Best for years – almost every year Ottolenghi has had a new cookbook published, it has been the top rated cookbook of the year. The only exceptions are the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen books.

As well as the top 10 books of the year plus seven runners up, we have charts showing the votes from the UK/Ireland, Canada and Australia/New Zealand. We also produced specialist charts for Baking, Vegetarian & vegan, Drinks, and Food writing/memoirs. Check out all the lists plus look back over the previous 15 years.

    I have not ordered from them yet. I’m not sure what I would do with 50 pounds of beef bones………………

      I am not sure SIFT calls for beef bones – it is a baking book. I see suet as an ingredient.
