Lisa here, your OBOC webmaster and committee member. Instead of posting about my favourite fiction title of the year, I’ve compiled a list of the cooking books I enjoyed in 2011. In no particular order:

- Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook
- Fresh: New Vegetarian and Vegan Recipes
- The Joy of Cooking: 75th Anniversary Edition
- The China Study
- The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the Planet
- Moosewood Restaurant Cooking For Health
- Make it Fast, Cook it Slow: The Big Book of Everyday Slow Cooking
- Think Like a Chef
You will enjoy these books even if you aren’t a vegetarian or vegan: The Joy of Cooking is an invaluable cooking reference that every kitchen should have; Think Like a Chef will have you dicing and slicing like a pro; and Make it Fast, Cook it Slow offers up many easy and healthful cold weather staples, just in time for the post-holiday season.
Do you have a favourite cooking book I should add to my 2012 reading list?
