I recently moved my all time favourite cookbooks (as evidenced by the overflowing bookmarks sticking out of each book) to a separate area as I refer to this on a daily/weekly basis for inspiration and wanted to have them close to hand, rather than search through my embarrassingly overcrowded cookbook bookshelf. That inspired me to put together this post: A Rainbow Of Cookbooks Any Foodie Would Love As A Gift 2014.
Here’s more about each cookbook:

Nom Nom Paleo: Food For Humans by Michelle Tam and Henry Fong – not only is this book super fun and entertaining to read through, the recipes are incredible – each one more delicious than the next. Our favourites in the cookbook include chicken nuggets and brussels sprouts chips – both of which my kids can’t get enough of.
The Art Of Fermentation: An In-Depth Exploration of Essential Concepts and Processes from around the World by Sandor Ellix Katz – I absolutely love this gem of a book – it comprehensively explores everything you could ever want to know about the magical art of fermentation – and more!
The Paleo Kitchen: Finding Primal Joy In Modern Cooking by Juli Bauer and George Bryant – a beautiful, vibrant cookbook full of inspiring recipes.
The Fussy Eaters’ Recipe Book by Anabel Karmel – I cook from this book heaps and love paging through it with my kids as it’s bright and inviting and features tons of images for happy children enjoying nourishing food.
Cultured Food For Life: How To Make And Serve Delicious Probiotic Foods For Better Health And Wellness by Donna Schwenk – there are just so many incredibly creative and delicious ways to enjoy cultured food featured in this book that you will be spoilt for choice!
The Book of Jewish Food: An Odyssey from Samarkand to New York by Claudia Roden – this book is simply sensational! It’s part cookbook part history book and is packed full of recipes that span the culinary globe.
Apples for Jam: A Colorful Cookbook by Tessa Kiros – I’m always incredibly inspired when I page through this bright and colourful cookbook. So many regular meals we enjoy were inspired by recipes I found in this book that I’ve lost count!
The Paleo Chocolate Lovers’ Cookbook: 80 Gluten-Free Treats for Breakfast & Dessert by Kelly Brozyna – a decadent book full of recipes which would seriously wouldn’t believe are paleo/primal friendly. Perfect for any chocoholic!
Nigella Kitchen: Recipes From The Heart Of The Home by Nigella Lawson – while I adore all of Nigella’s books, this one is my favourite. A delicious collection of wholesome, home cooked recipes that have been family favourites in the couple of years I’ve owned the book.
Any of these cookbooks would be a welcome gift to a foodie friend of family member this holiday season.
