Rachel Cusk is a new-to-me author who has been an absolute joy to read. Each page in this book is chock-full of anecdotes that had me pausing to contemplate, reread, or simply appreciate her prose. It’s one of the most memorable contemporary lit books I’ve read so far. I cannot wait to finish the entire trilogy.

The Modern Cook’s Year by Anna Jones
$23This is a gem of a cookbook organized by season. While every recipe is vegetarian, the resulting dishes include so much depth of flavor and are far from boring. Recipes I’ve made from it recently include miso roasted squash and potatoes, French onion soup, and kale and Brussels sprouts Caesar slaw. The book is also really educational, and Anna breaks down the elements of go-to dishes (like the “perfect” green salad), which is super helpful.

A Cook’s Book by Nigel Slater
$42I’ve found myself turning to this cookbook a lot since purchasing it this year. It features both descriptive recipes and the tales behind them. I love reading through the author’s writing and cooking his recipes in equal measure. Lots of vegetarian and vegan recipes too!
