Here's why I love cookbooks and think they are worth buying and giving, even as our little black box devices can call up recipes lickety split. When I buy a cookbook I spend a few weeks cooking only from it. I read the front parts and the back parts and I don't flip straight to recipes. Why? Because the reason a publishing house spent tons of hours and dollars in printing and editing and testing this beauty is because this person is good at what they do. Better than me for sure, can't say about you. Either way, if you read a cookbook and shop its recipes and cook them for a few weeks, you will grasp more deeply how to cook. Because this chef has developed a noteworthy system of cooking that people find delicious. There's never one single way to learn to cook, but me - I buy cookbooks and then cook from them. I've done my best to collect ones you'll love - let me know if I'm missing any, will ya? read@prairiepathbooks.com

Finally, a cookbook that answers the question all aspiring cooks ask--what can I cook once I've mastered toast? The essential young person's guide to real, and really awesome, food.
Toast is the entry into the kitchen for many cooks--the dish a young cook first learns not to burn, or that they make when there is nobody around to cook for them. It's a reliable culinary introduction. But what comes next? Taking aspiring cooks into the kitchen fray, this cookbook shows young adults what to eat and how to cook. Distilling culinary advice from her own upbringing, the author offers must-know tricks for the new-to-cooking, modernizes classics, and inspires an interest in healthy cooking. Recipes for crunchy, fried mozzarella-stuffed croquettes; French roast chicken; mini cheeseburgers; and proper salads meet ideas for sprawling weekend feasts. This book raises the bar for the packed lunch, serves up new ideas on snacks, shows teens and 20-somethings what to cook for friends or mom, and puts an end to endless fridge searches by answering the perpetual question "What can I eat?."
For any of these cookies, cakes, pies, sandwiches, and casseroles, you use only natural ingredients such as buckwheat flour, brown rice flour, and ripe fruits and vegetables. Whether you're making Potato Rosemary Bread, iced Red Velvet Cupcakes, Lemon-Thyme-Summer Squash Ravioli, or Rainbow Chard and Kalamata Olive Pizza, you'll be able to use ingredients already in your pantry or easily found at your local supermarket.
With ample information for gluten-free beginners and 100 colorful photographs, this book is a game changer for gluten-free households everywhere.
