What new kitchen gear do you hope to get this holiday?
I love my microplanes, but I still use my box grater sometimes. I prefer its longer shreds for some things. When we moved last, I got rid of all my gadgets that weren't pretty actively used and haven't added many since. A friend recently …

So what books are on your Santa list this year?
Me too. My cookbook shelves are getting full, so I'm trying not to get anything new. And there don't seem to be any must-haves this year. Mildly interested in Bittman's Kitchen Matrix. Also Madhur Jaffrey's new Vegetarian India b…

My goodness, I just picked this book up for the first time in a long while. There are still so many recipes I want to make! Back on the list with it.

How do you start a cookbook club?
I'm so jealous. I don't think I could find 3,4, or 5 cookbook people nearby to do this with.

Just found the final list ... http://origin.www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/10-essential-cookbook-canon-article It includes books not on the long list. Hmm...

The long list comes for nominations. They said they were surprised by how few baking books were suggested. I'm not sure how the final ten will be selected. (And doesn't look like they are either since they're quite late getting it pub…

Me too. Miss only Plenty there. Have 7/13 in the International category. Otherwise, I do pretty poorly.

Saddest cookbooks ever
Yes, a bland diet might work that way for weight. But all the enjoyment you miss!

Roberts' Headley-Thorrison review is fantastic! What a laugh.

No Donna Hay here. @bunyip, what's your most owned cookbook?

Joy of Cooking has so many editions that are so different, it might be a bit hard to organize. I don't mind that though. Is Bittman really "american"? The book gets pretty good reviews at Amazon UK. Only three 3-star ratings (no pictu…

I show How to Cook Everything Vegetarian with 183. That's the most-owned book I found. I wouldn't mind at all spending a bit more time with that book.

I agree with @bunyip about Ottolenghi; I've only got the self-named book. Have liked recipes from there and site well enough, but think he's generally overrated, especially my book. Would like to know if there's a way to find the mos…

We probably *should* start a new topic here, since this is an interesting topic. We usually shop once a week. I try to have meals planned for most nights of the week and to leave one night, probably the one before shopping day, for using up odd bits…

Best-of-the-year cookbook lists for 2014
Really I fear it's a bit of my OCD side coming through. ;-) But it does help to be able to see a week and a time and know what's coming activity-wise, so I know if one day has to be a quickie or if I'll have time (and energy) for some…

Best-of-the-year cookbook lists for 2014
I keep a spreadsheet with 3 weeks of "plan", only the current week relatively fixed. I include activities and appointments, so I can plan meals appropriate to the time available. There are pages for recipes I want to try, Mains, Sides, Des…

On yes, Mrs Wheelbarrow is also interesting. I did think about tallying the lists, but decided I really had better things to do with my time. :-) In previous years, ones that were tops on many lists turned out to be kind of coffee table books to me,…

Got it, thanks. Plenty More is looking like one of the year's favorites. Also frequently appearing is Persiana.

Thanks so much for the fix, Andrew! Really too bad about the spammers. Your solution sounds like a good idea. Hope it's not too much trouble for you.

For Ottolenghi fans
I think I'm wanting Ruhlman's Twenty as *the* cookbook this year.

Best-of-the-year cookbook lists for 2014
I agree. My "want" list for this year is really low. I'm purposely avoiding looking to some extent because my cookbook space is severely limited (as in, I can't shelf all the books that are around the house), but that's neve…

Yes, Friday would be better for me. I even have a Scottish cookbook that I've never used. Maybe I could manage something from that. And oatmeal (porridge) for breakfast! Maybe an idea to extend through the weekend, like Thursday through Sunday?…

Good idea, but we're out all day and I won't be cooking.
