Better Than a PSL: The 12 Best Fall Cookbooks

Appetites: A Cookbook ($38) is Anthony Bourdain's first cookbook in more than 10 years. He's someone whose food opinion I greatly trust (anywhere he goes in San Francisco, I go), and I appreciate his writing just as much as his ability to seek out the best food all over the world. Appetites "boils down forty-plus years of professional cooking and globe-trotting to a tight repertoire of personal favorites — dishes that everyone should (at least in Mr. Bourdain's opinion) know how to cook." Throwing a dinner party Bourdain-style? I'm sold. — EC
