Every Book Our Cookbook Club Has Cooked Through

Since the Food52 Cookbook Club launched as a Facebook Group in 2017, we've cooked through nearly 100 cookbooks together. To make the titles easy to find for our new and current members—nearly 40,000 and counting!—we're listing them here for easy access and inspo.

The way our members cook together across continents and time zones is simple: We post pics and reviews of the recipes we make from one of our chosen books. This could mean our "Book of the Month," our annual "Bonus Book," or any past cookbook we've covered for a Throwback Thursday or Throwback Month (August and February) post. Even if you can't get your hands on your own copy, we make sure you can still cook along with us, by excerpting recipes from our chosen cookbooks and only selecting titles that you can also download to a device.

We also lean on each other for answers to cooking questions in our comments and in AMAs with featured cookbook authors. And we help members get together for their own IRL cookbook club meetups. Join us here and follow us on Instagram at @f52cookbookclub. And if baking is also your thing—or more your style—check out our Baking Club, too, and every cookbook they've covered.

Below is the full list of cookbooks our club has covered—plus the titles we're cooking through next. You can also see the entire list of books (and search the recipe indexes) on Eat Your Books here. Sign up for free to access it—to organize and build your own shelf, get your first month free with code FOOD5224.
