We have almost made it through half of 2021. I was talking with a publicist recently and we were discussing with amazement about the power of the cookbook buying public. We weren't sure if we are just busier because publishing is booming or if working from home enables us to work longer. I, myself, have never had a commute while… read more

Every month is a surprise, I never know which books will have publication date, title or cover revisions. Even with updating the 2021 preview post weekly, many times I'm met with changes! Many of these cookbooks will be the subject of giveaways – and some already have a promotion published. Please keep checking the blog for updates. If you would like… read more

March roars in like a lion with a big gust of releases to usher in another cookbook season. As it seems to be the new normal, a handful of titles had their publishing dates moved to another month in the near future. COVID is wreaking havoc with printing and shipping in the publishing world. I keep my 2021 preview post updated to… read more

February 2021 New Cookbook Review

As I began my review of February cookbooks, I found that many titles were moved to March or April - perhaps in an effort to allow time for books to make it to warehouses due to COVID related slow downs. I keep my 2021 preview post updated to show these monthly releases and I have also prepared a Spring preview post. The… read more

Welcome to the last month of 2020. The number of releases is even smaller than usual for December as there were about a dozen books moved to 2021. To check out what is coming next year, my 2021 preview post is continually being updated. Some reminders before we discuss this month's titles. Last month, I published my gift guides for the… read more

Welcome to the last unofficial month of the totally unofficial Cookbooktober. November has some exciting titles but far less in number than October. It seems as though I was just finishing up October's epic review yesterday and here we are nearing the end of the year. Some reminders before we dive into the cookbooks. Recently, I've published my gift guides… read more

This month exhausted me before it even began. The pandemic had publishers moving release dates so often that I felt like I was herding cats. Every time there was a change, I had to make sure that I covered all the bases: preview posts updated, book data updated, our indexing manager had to be made aware, covers and sub-titles checked,… read more

So be sure to check the looking forward to 2020 cookbooks post if you are wondering where titles have been shifted to. I continue to update this… read more

What July is lacking in the number of its releases, it makes up in the quality of books. As I was preparing this month's review, I noted additional fall/autumn titles are again being moved to 2021. The looking forward to 2020 cookbooks post provides an outline by month of when cookbooks are slated to be published. I continue to update this preview… read more

Just a short month ago, the pandemic was around-the-clock news and today it remains the same. COVID-19 has stopped the presses, literally. Typically, April is the third-largest month for cookbook releases. Many titles that would be in our review below were shelved until September or October mainly in the effort to allow the authors to tour to promote those titles.… read more

Here we are in a new decade! I am busy updating our post looking forward to cookbooks in 2020 and working on judging cookbooks again this year for James Beard. I kept thinking after the holidays that things would slow down a bit but I was wrong! I'm not complaining, it is cookbooks after all! This month offers a small selection of… read more

How did we reach the end of 2019, and the decade, so quickly? It seems that Eat Your Books has been covering and indexing cookbooks for our members for ten years in just a blink of an eye. Every year cookbooks get better and better and this year was no exception. My best cookbook lists - Part I and Part… read more

November 2019 New Cookbook Review

After October's windfall of cookbooks, November's offerings pale in comparison but just in the number of releases, not in the quality of those books. This month we have titles from Joanne Chang, Nancy Singleton Hachisu, Toni Tipton Martin and the revised and updated edition of The Joy of Cooking along with two titles from Great British Bake-Off contestants. We have… read more

My favorite months are just around the corner ready to make their entrance with cooler temperatures and a whirlwind of cookbook releases. The fall and winter months here in the US are my favorite. The arrival of the months ending with "ber" signifies more baking and hours spent by the fireplace reading cookbooks. In preparation, I've spent a few hours… read more
