i'm so glad that people voted for Giada, she's amazing! and i like her recipes better than Ray's...
There's already a "Best Cookbooks" list, with over 360 voters and 330 cookbooks: http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/18... .
If you are interested in joining a group about cooking and eating, take a look at my new Cakes and Ale. It's a group to discuss not only cooking but eating great food, finding great wines, recommending your favorite restaurants, and talking about books and cooking mags.
Over a thousand cookbooks on this list...but no one thought to include Angela Liddon's "The Oh She Glows Cookbook"? On a Bayesian average basis (taking into account average rating and number of ratings), it would be top 5 on the list! What an oversight!
متاسفانه کتابهای ایرانی خوبی در زمینه آشپزی وجود ندارد. بخشی از این کتابها هیچ وقت به فارسی ترجمه نمی شوند. https://taaghche.com/blog/1398/05/16/...
در این یادداشت چند کتاب آشپزی فارسی معرفی کردهایم.
