Essentials of ​Classic Italian Cooking​
Essentials of ​Classic Italian Cooking​

Okay, technically this is two books in one: Marcella Hazan's The Classic Italian Cookbook and More Classic Italian Cooking. But when it comes to Hazan, we can't get enough. Before Hazan, Italian food in American was all red sauce and meatballs the size of your fist.

Plenty​
Plenty​

But go bonkers they did. Maybe it's Plenty's Mediterranean take on fresh produce. Maybe it's a much-needed burst of color in the pantheon of vegetarian cookbooks. Whatever it is, it was enough to propel Ottolenghi's next book, Jerusalem, into instant-hit status and to spawn a sequel to the first book, Plenty More.

The Zuni Cafe ​Cookbook​
The Zuni Cafe ​Cookbook​

Like Marcella Hazan, Judy Rodgers is also responsible for one of the cookbook world's great, famed recipes: the Zuni Cafe roast chicken. This dish is still served at Rodgers' San Francisco restaurant, but the dense, five-page recipe itself is legendary for its meticulousness.
