best new food blog cookbooks fall 2019

When it comes to cookbooks, we can’t get enough, so our wish list has gotten a little unwieldy. That’s why we split up the big batch of new cookbooks coming out this fall into several categories—including this exciting bunch of brand new books from some of our longtime favorite food bloggers.

“Two Peas & Their Pod Cookbook: Favorite Everyday Recipes from Our Family Kitchen” by Maria Lichty, $22.40 on Amazon

Two Peas and Their Pod cookbook 2019

Amazon

Publish Date: September 3, 2019

From the popular Two Peas & Their Pod blog comes this cookbook packed with beautiful, budget-friendly, and (mostly) healthy recipes for every meal. The breakfast chapter embraces hearty baked goods, egg dishes, and smoothies and there are dinner recipes for any day of the week (from One-Skillet Sausage Pasta to several vegetarian options, and mains to sides). You’ll also find desserts (lots of cookies, Brown Butter Banana Cake with Brown Butter-Cream Cheese Frosting, Peanut Butter Fudge Ice Cream Pie with Chocolate Cookie Crust…) and a handful of party menus too for when you want to feed a crowd—or just want an excuse to host a Loaded Nacho Bar get-together.Buy Now

“Bigger, Bolder Baking: A Fearless Approach to Baking Anytime, Anywhere” by Gemma Stafford, $21 on Amazon

Bigger Bolder Baking cookbook fall 2019

Amazon

Publish Date: September 3, 2019

Gemma’s Bigger, Bolder Baking is a reliable repository of professional baking knowledge anyone can apply at home—think: five tips for perfect fudgy brownies—and (of course) fantastic recipes for all sorts of desserts. This cookbook delivers even more of the same, and in a move we know we’ll appreciate, the chapters are divided by the equipment they call for (“Rolling Pin,” “Wooden Spoon & Bowl,” “No Oven Needed”) so we can search for a sweet treat based on how much work we want to put into it. Still, it’ll be hard to choose what to bake first (Pistachio Orange Palmiers; any of several birthday cake contenders; Caramelized Banana Tarte Tatin; Single-Serving Key Lime Pie Cheesecake…), but there are also handy recipes for DIY components like homemade buttermilk, brown sugar, cake flour, and condensed milk. Clearly, there’s a lot to love, even before you turn the oven on (and sometimes you won’t have to).Buy Now

“The Art of Escapism Cooking: A Survival Story, with Intensely Good Flavors” by Mandy Lee, $31.50 on Amazon

Lady and Pups cookbook 2019

Amazon

Publish Date: October 15, 2019

If you’re familiar with the blog Lady & Pups, you’ll know this book promises to deliver on all fronts: eye candy in the form of excellent photos; fully engaging words and stories; and recipes you won’t find anywhere else (Buffalo Chicken Ramen; Poached Eggs with Miso Burnt Butter Hollandaise; and Wontons with Shrimp Chili Coconut Oil and Herbed Yogurt). Mandy Lee began her blog as a way to vent frustrations after moving abroad, hence “escapism cooking” in the book title—but for us, the escape will be into the writing itself, the stunning photos, and the food (and all the places, moods, and memories they conjure.)Buy Now

“Lush: A Season-by-Season Celebration of Craft Beer and Produce” by Jacquelyn Dodd, $30 on Amazon

Beeroness Lush beer cookbook 2019

Amazon

Publish Date: October 15, 2019

If you’re a fan of beer, you should know about The Beeroness. She’s passionate about great craft beer, and using it in cooking both sweet and savory (as exemplified on her website and in two earlier cookbooks: “Craft Beer Bites” and the “Craft Beer Cookbook“). This latest offering puts an emphasis on seasonality, both in the fruit and vegetable ingredients in each dish and in the beer itself—which also ends up in the food, of course, for a delicious synergy of flavors. As the description notes, “This isn’t your drunk uncle’s beer chili.” Instead, get ready for delicious combos like Gochujang ISA Shakshuka and Grilled Apricot Saison Shortcakes. Don’t forget to pick up enough beer for cooking (or baking) and drinking with the finished dish.Buy Now

“The Wholesome Yum Easy Keto Cookbook: 100 Simple Low Carb Recipes” by Maya Krampf, $18.89 on Amazon

Here, those recipes are also oriented around ease of preparation, whether that means things that you can make ahead or just make quickly.
