We have assembled 358 lists from around the world to create our 17th annual Best of the Best. The top book of 2025 is Good Things by Samin Nosrat. No other book came close to the votes this book collected.

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 16 years.

    Good Things is 50% off (hard copy) at Barnes and Noble for now, if you’d like to support a bricks & mortar bookshop. (I’ve long since bailed on anything Amazon.)
