Get Cozy in the Kitchen

By Kat La Mantia | September 17 2024 | BlogAdultsGeneralAll

With the beginning of fall and the promise of winter holidays ahead, it’s the right time for cozy comfort food, celebratory meals with loved ones, and indulgent bakes!

Easy set it and forget it dinners are a staple all year round, but are especially top of mind in the fall when school activities and holiday stress starts to pile on. Instant pots, crockpots, and one pan meals are an easy solution to weekday cooking. The Complete One Pot from America’s Test Kitchen is a home cook’s must-have resource for making delicious meals without the mess, or try The Vegan Instant Pot Cookbook for plant-based recipes created to come together in a flash in one of America’s most popular kitchen appliances.

It’s the season for baking everything from sourdough loaves to pies to holiday cookies. The Perfect Loaf is one of our bestselling books for bread makers, revealing the secrets and science behind crafting “gotta have it” breads. B. Dylan Hollis has taken the baking world by storm with Baking Yesteryear for anyone who wants to surprise loved ones with a little retro flavor at their next gathering. And bakers looking for the perfect holiday recipe will find familiar favorites in Pie School and the forthcoming Good Housekeeping Holiday Cookies.

While savvy hosts are already prepping for Thanksgiving and beyond, casual cooks are wondering what to bring to their next pot luck table. Cookbooks focused on entertaining, like ATK’s Gatherings and Celebrate with Babs, make it easy to serve up a celebration feast, while our headline fall releases like Dolly Parton’s Good Lookin’ Cookin’ and Half Baked Harvest’s Quick & Cozy are perfect for folks looking for a show stopping recipe.

Explore all of these books and more on our cozy cooking title list!
