Perhaps it’s Covid, or some supply-chain catch-up, but boy are there a ton of good cookbooks out there right now. So many in fact, that I’m doing two roundups this year instead of just one. Since it’s still summer, I found books for grilling, with plenty of options for carnivores and vegetarians. Others take a direct look at what it means to be an American in 2022, all while providing astounding recipes. One is full of creative and incredibly satisfying dishes that are surprisingly easy to make, perfect for hot summer nights. Finally, a book from two CDC employees uses science to create fabulous cookies. Grab your apron, put the cutting board on the counter, pour yourself something cool to drink, and get cooking.
