Fall Quarter (October–December) 2025 Cookbook of the Months Nominations

Welcome to the nomination thread for COTMs for the final quarter of 2025. In looking at recent successes, it’s easy to see a couple of trends pop out. Having plenty of online access makes it easy for people to participate, and having a good trove of recipes to choose from, whether it’s multiple works and/or a website from a single author, or a wide-ranging site. Of course, you should nominate books or authors or sites that you’d like to cook from this autumn.

You may nominate as many sources as you like. Please type nominations in ALL CAPS, and use regular capitalization to discuss, rather than nominate.

Nominations will close WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24. Voting will follow, though if there’s a runaway front-runner, that will become one of our two choices.

Thanks @CaitlinM!

We’ll be in “busy season” in the US, so I’m thinking both about things that could work for the various holidays, or as a palate-cleanser / break from the various holidays :joy:.

CHRISSY TIEGEN QUARTER

Many of the recipes from her books were quite rich, but a couple of simple ones did go into permanent rotation for me from her previous COTM, and the richer ones would be well-timed for the season too.
