Better Than a PSL: The 12 Best Fall Cookbooks

Short Stack is a series launched in 2013, made of mini cookbooks focused on one ingredient at a time. The upcoming The Short Stack Cookbook ($40) is — you guessed it — a larger cookbook focusing on common ingredients and unique ways to cook with them. As the book's description reads, "Organized by 18 ingredients, including apples, bacon, brussels sprouts, butter, cheddar, eggs, tomatoes, Greek yogurt, honey, hot chile peppers, kale, lemons, sourdough, whole chicken, and Winter squash, The Short Stack Cookbook takes readers though staples found in the kitchen and presents new ways to cook with everyday items." — EC
