Best Cookbooks Of The Year: Which Cookbooks Were Rated The Best Of 2010?
By akirchner
Best Cookbooks of 2010
I collect cookbooks like they were going to be obsolete one day! That said, I know a lot of folks out there love to do the same or at least collect the recipes. About this time every year, I begin to wonder what the best cookbooks of the year are and begin to plan which ones I might want to pick up - for myself or for someone for the holidays.
Here are some great ideas on the Best Cookbooks of 2010!
WHAT MAKES A COOKBOOK A BEST COOKBOOK
I went to several different sources to come up with some ideas on the Best Cookbooks of 2010 and everyone will obviously have a different opinion. These are just ideas on what cookbooks are out there this year and why they are considered to be some of the best in their class.
But what is the criteria that one should consider when selecting a cookbook, either for themselves or someone else?
Here are some ideas on attributes and the different kind of audience these cookbooks may benefit.

PROFESSIONAL COOK
This is someone who lives and breathes
cooking. Maybe this person even runs a catering business or a full
scale food preparation operation such as a restaurant. This type of
person needs serious cookbooks defining everything from soup to nuts,
although the cookbooks can be specific, such as a cookbook about baking
scones or a specific book on Cajun cooking. Specialty cookbooks of a
professional nature are great gifts for the chef any time.

JUST MARRIED
Newlyweds always need cookbooks - at least
if they want to survive on anything other than take-out and fast food!
For the just married, cookbooks most often are all-encompassing, meaning
in that cookbook, you could look up how to boil an egg and the next
day, look up how to cook a meatloaf; still another day how to carve a
turkey. These are usually basic cover everything cookbooks that people
generally save for years and years. These cookbooks usually have many
different recipes for the same dish and then many instructions on 'how
to' throughout the cookbook. These 'standard' cookbooks are great
wedding gifts.
CAN'T COOK - TWO BROWN THUMBS
These
are the folks who want to try to cook but they have a hard time with
it. For some reason, everything they try, things burn up or just don't
come out right. Cookbooks for these folks are usually simple and come
with many illustrations - and fewer ingredients. These are cookbooks
that lead a person to want to cook more by being successful rather than
facing culinary disasters. These can also be great cookbooks for
college students or people with minimal time or money for cooking. This
kind of cookbook makes an excellent graduation gift or starting school
present.
BUSY COOK
Cookbooks for the busy cook
are usually geared towards quick and easy menus and recipes that require
very little prep. These cookbooks are more along the lines of
nutrition but keeping the recipes short and sweet and to the point -
maybe mixing in some already prepared foods to go along with natural
foods or foods in their uncooked state. Busy cook cookbooks are also
usually chock full of ideas on how to save time and prepare food ahead.
This makes a great gift for someone who has just gone back to work and
has a busy family life.
HEART-HEALTHY OR SPECIAL DIET
These specialty cookbooks are geared towards people with special needs - or people who are extremely health conscious for one reason or the other. Most often, the recipes are either low in fat or cholesterol, or low in 'bad' carbs or sugar, although there are many cookbooks that are specific to one particular illness. Cookbooks from this category are a great idea for someone who is battling a particular disease or is needing to cut back on certain foods, learn better ways of cooking for a health reason. This can be a really neat gift for someone who for instance just had heart stenting. It makes a great get-well gift!
COOKING ENTHUSIAST
These cookbooks would be aimed at someone like myself - someone who absolutely loves to cook and try new recipes and who is always trying to tweak them to make them better. Basically, cookbooks in this category can be anywhere from gourmet cookbooks on the order of Bon Appetit to specialty cookbooks on how to make your own pasta. If you know the tastes of the cook, you can better match a cookbook to his or her skill level. These cookbooks make excellent gifts for yourself!

Wow, this is quite a list. I also love to read cookbooks. I love to cook, too. I'm going to take a closer look.
Most welcome, Bianca~!
Great reviews thank you! I shall check these out.

Thank you, Patrick!
Real great videos. Congrats for your hub!
Laura - Thanks for your comment!
JG - Glad you found one that was helpful!
HG - That sounds fantastic. I often think about that myself - if only I had more hours in my day. Good luck to you!!
OH MY GOODNESS! This is fantastic.... I adore cookbooks! Thanks for the totally wonderful article. I am hoping to publish a cookbook later in 2011, being a chef by trade, I have collected a ton of brilliant recipes, but just wasn't sure on what/how to go about it. Cheers again! :)
Thanks, Steph - I totally agree and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, too!
You can never have too many cookbooks, or prepare too many delicious meals. Great hub - especially for this time of year. Happy Thanksgiving, Audrey!
Very good recommendation, i already find one of them on net, and buyed online.
thanks
People of the present day have cook books as guides for their daily food. It has become their helping hands. A best cook book would definitely be one that offers busy, easy, full time, professional, just married food guides.
Thanks for stopping by, Dawn!
love the healthy part of the book and glad to see it in there, great information!
Hi bddonovan - thanks for the read - and I agree. I have a whole collection of those, too and just love all the recipes that reflect the local 'flavor'. Thanks for the read!
To heck with the good for you food. I like the good food found in community cookbooks. I have beencollecting these over the years and have about 20, everything from a collection of celebraty recipes for the Williamstown Theatre Festival to small chuch cookbooks. Have a new one for you with many of my family "secrets" in it.
http://hubpages.com/hub/Christmas-Cooking
Thanks for the good work.
Me, too - It's just more building blocks to cook with!
thanks for sharing this great information... i really love cookbooks so I´m making my list of hoices!!!
that is great the for all the informations
LTC - I can't decide which one(s) I 'need' to have! There are so many good ones to pick from and I really don't need more cookbooks but oh well!! The other one by Jamie Oliver sounds marvelous too! He has one listed above as well. Now I guess I'll just HAVE to check it out - oh darn!
A very useful guide to cook books. Everybody that I know is buying Jamie's Thrity Minute Meals by Jamie Oliver. I think that must be 2010's best seller in Britain at least.
EmmaMedu - I agree - I think that's why I love the actual books over Internet recipes most times. I love being able to open them up and find a great recipe and put it on my cookbook holder and create away! Thanks for the read!
This is an extensive list of the best cookbooks. I regularly buy cookbooks, because I enjoy cooking. Sometimes I follow the recipe, sometimes I don't, but it's nice to open an old cookbook and prepare a nice meal.
Cookbooks last forever.
Thanks Suejanet for the read and for stopping by - hope you find the perfect one(s)!!
I love to cook and live cookbooks. I will not have to check these out. Thanks
I love the same things, eventsyoudesign. Thanks so much for stopping by. Now there's another great book I'll have to check out. Thanks for the tip!
Good article. I love to cook and I also love cook books. I love to read about the history of food and I love to read dictionaries about food. I like the videos that you have combined with this article. I happen to have a copy of Food lover's Companion on my desk. I think my new favorite book is Ratio by Michael Ruhlman. This book allows me to create my own recipes. Thanks for sharing. Teresa
AjCor - Thanks so much for stopping by and for the read. Glad you liked the categories - I had no idea there were that many great cookbooks out this year! Yikes, I hope I don't buy them all!!!
Hi there akirchner - I too love collecting cookbooks and also cooking (have just finished making with my sister, a 4 layer wedding cake for my son and his bride who are to be married in three weeks; phew!)but what I really like about your article is the way you have categorised the cooks! cheers and thanks..
Thanks CoCoa - glad you enjoyed it!
How to cook everything. One of my favorite, this is a great hub. Thanx!
DSmiller - that is one of the best things about libraries and being able to check out the books - literally! I tend to do that as well so hats off to you for reiterating that great point!
We have a great public library nearby, and can try out the latest cookbooks from there, before we decide whether to buy them. Since we started doing that, we've saved money, and cookbook shelf space! We've also found some great new favourites.
Thanks FF for stopping by!
Great Hub
FloBe - Another bedtime browser of cookbooks! I try to multitask a lot and while I'm watching programs at night in bed snuggled up with my malamutes, I usually have a cookbook or a cooking magazine tucked in between us! I love recipes and for me, it's all about the tweaking and re-creating something to call my own, too - thanks so much for stopping by!
I often use cookbooks for bedtime reading...lots of delicious-looking pictures and great ideas. I rarely cook with a recipe but I love to glean ideas that I'll later use in one of my own. I search out cookbooks that have a story to them and have some from different parts of the world. Food is an international language!
Thanks SK3749 for stopping by - I could collect them until the cows come home! I have favorites as well but it is sure tempting (for me) to keep looking!
I'm a cookbook collector too! Some of my favorites are church fundraiser cookbooks. You know, the ones where the ladies of the church add their own recipes. These are tried and true recipes, the recipes I like the most. I like finding the real old ones at yard sales! Thanks for the list of cookbooks. I will have to go check out some of them.
The momofuku cookbook is enlightening if you can put up with Davids bad language. There was talk he was opening a restaurant in London but it doesn't seem to have happened. The only site I can find relevant to the UK is http://www.momofuku.co.uk which just has a biography. Nicely compiled list.
Thanks for stopping by, MPG and glad to be help!
Wow, just found this, what an extensive list. Will bookmark for later use, thanks Audrey.
RachelSmile - Thanks so much for commenting and I know what you mean about the process and loving it!
I love cooking,specially enjoy the process,thanks for sharing
Glad to be of help, nikki1!
Thanx, great hub. I just got inspired ;D
Thank you nikitha!
Wow! Very intesting hub, I liked it.
Thanks CheapinMadrid for the read - truly I think I could buy every one of them!
Lovely and elaborate analysis...cooking can be a messy business especially for starters so its nice to be able to acquire a cooking blueprint and go with that.
No matter how much I cook, I kinda always like to have things in black and white myself - it helps me blame the cookbook if it goes wrong! Thanks for the read, RT!
Definitive resource of a hub you have here. Thanks for a great reference tool! Those of us who, um, cook like I do depend on cookbooks. Otherwise...better left unsaid. Good stuff here!
Thanks for the read, febriedethan - I tend to collect cookbooks like I collect my dogs!
I think "Can't Cook and Busy Cook" Books will be suitable for me :)
Thank you for wonderful information!
But I'd read it! Thanks for the read, Micky!
My cook-book would be about 2 pages! Great insight! Thank you Ma'am!
Thanks for the read, Om - that probably describes me as well. I think I could easily buy all of these though!
Very nice! "Busy Cook" is probably my type of cookbook, and "Cooking Enthusiast" sounds pretty awesome as well. Thanks for recommending all these interesting books. :)
Thanks so much for the read and the compliment, Katie. I think it is all about just understanding cooking and of course I keep getting more cookbooks so I will understand it better! That's my theory anyhow. I just love the recipes and seeing what someone else comes up with to tell the truth. There are so many on this list that I am going to check out - Bob is already rolling his eyes! Hope it helps with finding one (some) for the girls! I know I'm interested just from doing the research!
A very impressive review of the best cookbooks of
2010. Both of my girls love cookbooks and this is very helpful to insure I buy them the best cookbooks, I know your an amazing expert on cooking and cook books. I value your reviews.
Oh it's so good to know I'm not alone! I am absolutely nuts about recipes and cookbooks! Thanks for the read, CS!
Hi akirchner,
While reading this Hub, I was reminded of my wife who like you is a very busy cook. Her bookcases are overflowing with cookbooks as well. She loves to cook and I am very happy for that.
BJ - Isn't it just so? I think I collect cookbooks almost as much as I collect dogs - and stories! I fear that if we made a Kirchner Memorial Library though, I would have to pass on into the next world, so let's not start take donations quite yet. I have a lot more cooking to do - and foibles to create. Thanks for the read - I incidentally need another cookbook like I need (another) hole in the head!
At some point, Audrey, we must start a foundation to build the Kirchner Memorial Library for Cookbook Bibliophiles in order to house which will one day be, if not already, an overflowing collection of said tomes. Where should I send my donation?
Laurel - Thanks for the read and for the tip! Now will have to check her cookbooks out!!
Holle - I literally have too many cookbooks for my own good because now I have to spend a lot of time trying to remember which cookbook had the 'best' recipe - not to mention my binders FULL of recipes. Oh well - I need to organize myself and become my own cookbook librarian!
HH - Most people swear by my cooking too - I think that is a good thing - or are they just swearing in general?
Thanks for the read, H!
CM - His is one I don't have and need to check it out - literally! Thanks for the read!!
Yep.. what a great list... a coupla my favorites like Rick Bayless on here.... very cool.
Habee, you are like me. My son always laughs at me and makes fun of me but swears by my cooking.
Wow, Augrey, you do have one or two cookbooks there hahah
I love cookbooks! I rarely follw a recipe, but I do get some great ideas. And I totally LOVE the pics in the books!
Have you ever used Marcella Hazan's cookbooks on Italian food? This is a marvelous list, just thought I'd mention her! I've got Italian relatives that swear by her books, so I find myself constantly referring to her cooking arts.
Fine list, my friend!
Thanks, Faye for the read....I hate to admit it but if I could - and had the space on my already crammed bookcases, I would have them all - they all sound SO interesting! I'd be a tweaking forever!
Thank you Audrey for a gallery of cook books and information, I will booomark this hub, to keep this information close by. Thank you so much for sharing it. Godspeed. creativeone59
