5. Sweet by Yotam Ottolenghi and Helen Goh

Ten Speed Press

By now, Israeli-British chef Yotam Ottolenghi is one of the biggest names in the cookbook world (if you haven't read Jerusalem or Plenty, do yourself a favor and go buy them). This is his first cookbook focused around baking and it truly lives up to the hype. Written with Helen Goh, a pastry chef and longtime collaborator, the book is filled with beautiful, inspired recipes, some satisfyingly challenging, others very easy to execute.

6. Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat by Samin Nosrat

Simon & Schuster

If you only buy one cookbook this year, make it this one. It's more than a recipe anthology (though the recipes are there and they're great). Instead of telling you what to cook, this book actually teaches you how to cook. Nosrat's style is never preachy but rather fun and approachable. It's the perfect gift for anyone who wants to become a master in the kitchen.
