Cookbooks & E-books 2025-2026 -- Recently read / acquired, Wish list, and Deals

Collecting various cookbook threads into one place:

  • Anything new or interesting you’ve read or acquired of late?

  • What’s on your Cookbook Wish List?

  • Deals of note on E-books (or print books)

.

Here are the precedent threads:
Recent cookbook acquisitions (2019 onwards)
2024 Cookbooks acquired / wish list
E-book deals (2018 onwards)

I just finished a first look through Asma Khan’s latest book, Monsoon. A lovely read, with recipes and stories split into 6 seasons. Might make something from it this weekend.

(My only nit is no index in the e-book, nor a consolidated list of recipes. Missing index seems like it’s a publisher oversight.)

EYB has a number of tempting deals on e-books, and I am trying to justify how many is too many :sweat_smile:

– Sift: The Elements of Great Baking 2.99 (James Beard winner & mentioned a few times recently on the baking thread)
– Vietnamese Food Any Day / Andrea Nguyen 1.99 (former COTM, love the recipes)
– Crazy Water, Pickled Lemons / Diana Henry 1.99 – newish DH book
– Ad Hoc at Home / Thomas Keller 3.99 (usable recipes, as opposed to TFL cookbook I have already)
– Vegetables Unleashed / Jose Andres 1.99
– Eleven Madison Park 1.99 (as a memento, though the physical book would make more sense for that; still, at 1.99 I might do it)
– Food52 Genius Recipes 1.99
– Bottom of the Pot / Naz Deravian 2.99
– 15-Minute Indian / Anjula Devi 4.99 – I don’t know much about the author, but the technique she’s applying seems much closer to home cooking than you usually see. She has a number of recipes on her website (and there’s and EYB preview too) so I’ll take a closer look.
– A few Ed Kimber books 1.99
