20 Food-Editor-Approved Picks to Make Your December the Coziest Yet

"After recently seeing Anthony Bourdain speak in San Francisco during his The Hunger tour, I'm more excited for his newest cookbook than ever. Appetites is the Parts Unknown host's first cookbook in more than 10 years, and it embraces his 'back to basics' philosophy. Bourdain is not one for truffle mac and cheese or overly fancy renditions of classic comfort foods — 'Get that damn lobster out of my mac and cheese!' he wrote on page 128 of his macaroni and cheese recipe. Not only is his cookbook a go-to source for learning tried-and-true, classic recipes, but it's also filled with personal stories and Bourdainisms that I love." — EC
