If you're keen on grain bowls (and really, who isn't?) Bowls of Plenty ($28) by Carolynn Carreño is a no-brainer addition to your cookbook library. Flipping through it, I found myself tabbing nearly every other recipe, and once I started cooking from it, I became even more certain of its place on this list. Written by a veteran cookbook author — Carreno collaborated on 13 titles before this, her first solo venture — the recipes are globally inspired, and exceptionally well-written and -tested. Vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores alike will find inspiration here; whole grains are the thread that ties it all together.
