On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen
Harold McGeeRyan BriggsThe is probably my most banal food opinion, but Harold McGee’s On Food and Cooking is bizarrely good. The fact that he wrote it in 1984 is staggering to me. I grew up with cookbooks from that time! They sure weren’t like this! Just a masterwork.

Every Grain of Rice: Simple Chinese Home Cooking
Fuchsia DunlopRyan Briggs@baesrule1 @Laura_k_Duffy The ottolenghi books are pretty good tho. I don’t really use the (vegetarian) moosewood cookbooks anymore, but I have a few of them and I liked them at the time. Fuchsia Dunlop’s every grain of rice is an excellent beginner Chinese cookbook.

Victuals: An Appalachian Journey, with Recipes
Ronni LundyRyan BriggsStarting the year off right with Appalachian chicken and dumplings from Ronni Lundy’s excellent book Victuals. It’s such a satisfying recipe that starts from a whole chicken, which you roast and break down and then make stock from, and the stock feeds into the sauce, etc. https://t.co/AiAdU3XskQ
