- I love when blogs have not only great recipes but also beautiful photography. I think something visual makes a cookbook complete. I was wondering what cookbooks you loved to not only cook from, but also look at. Vegetarian and/or gluten free cookbooks would make me especially happy.
Cheers!

Luckily, it doesn't have to, since you can read more of Molly's writing on her blog, http://orangette.blogspot.com. Her stories draw you in, and relate in the most organic way to food and the included recipes. As cliche as it sounds, I laughed and I cried when I read this book. It's definitely a treat to read.

Anna does it again with another lovely cookbook. Divided by the seasons and filled with lots of variety, this cookbook is just lovely. Her ratatouille is nourishing, and I love the abundance of dishes with mushrooms!

I stumbled upon an old and loved edition of this book at a book sale for .50 cents. It was the best two quarters I've ever spent. I love reading Anna's stories about her travels to different countries and how she brings those travels straight to you through recipes. Her borchst and Spanish tortilla recipes are especially delightful. I've never had a recipe fail from this book. It's definitely a treasure to read!

The recipes use alternative sugar sources, like stevia and maple syrup, and include no hydrogenated oils. Each recipe has a corresponding and lovely photograph. It's rare for me to want to make everything in a cookbook, but I'd be happy to make and eat anything from this book.
