Cookbooks make great gifts; more personal but just as useful as a bottle of wine. Here are 12 new cookbooks sure to be well-worn this time next year, with splattered pages and folded corners.
Please note that we're fans of local bookstores, but for the sake of convenience, we've linked to Amazon here.
Above: In Near & Far: Recipes Inspired by Home and Travel Heidi Swanson explores vegetarian cooking from the pages of her travel journals; from Morocco, Japan, Italy, France, and India. Each chapter begins with a list of ingredients to build out your pantry accordingly. For more on Heidi's own pantry in Secrets from the Swanson Kitchen, SF Edition.
