I like lots of the books that you mention,but have to throw in props for Rustic Italian Food,by Mark Vetri...Great recipes and good articulation about what good food is about.

Yay! It's the PIGLET! and thanks to the last two contests, my cookbook shelves are so much better as is my cooking. I see a big Amazon order in my future.

What better way than to learn from others. I would think knowing the top 3 books, not just the top book, would be valuable. Your Food52 team is so amazing. I'll be reading your email updates.

Fantastic Fun! Also spied some cookbooks that might just be my Valentine's present(s) to myself!

what a great line-up of books and judges. Wow. The Piglet rocks! I only have a couple of the books and I want about 8 of them so I look forward to what you think of them.

My bookshelves are overflowing and I have promised my husband that if I buy any more cookbooks, they will REPLACE not ADD TO the current stash. Nonetheless, I have been eyeing several of the books in this line up! I am really looking forward to reading the testers' feedback. I love the piglet.

I'm squealing with excitement! Great choices.
I am currently smitten with Melissa Clark's "Cook This Now". I've made about half the January recipes and they are keepers!
Did not know that Mozza had put out a cookbok. Really squealing about that one!

Always love the Piglet! Know you can't include your book in the competition, but still think it's the BEST!
