30 Fall Cookbooks That Will Actually Make You Want to Cook

I cook the same five meals for dinner for my boyfriend and me almost every single week. I bet he can actually count them all on one hand. Although he rarely complains about the boring food rotation or my lack of cooking skills (bless his heart), I can't help but feel a little bad. It's not that I don't like to cook — I just never venture outside of my comfort zone. Still, like every other Fall — I can't wait to get my hands on the newly released lineup of cookbooks and all of the drool-worthy recipes, tips, and tricks inside them. From authors from Snoop Dogg and restaurant owners to Chrissy Teigen and world-renowned cooking experts, here are the 30 best cookbooks of Fall 2018. Bon appétit!
