The best cookbooks of 2024
LA TimesThe year 2024 had us hugging our cookbooks. Cook vegetables better with Sarah Hymanson and Sara Kramer’s “Kismet,” or make saag paneer lasagna and green chutney pizza from “Amrikan” by food writer Khushbu Shah. A section at the back includes recipes for bean accompaniments, like “Steve’s skillet cornbread,” which according to Sando is the best friend a bowl of beans ever had, aside from the corn tortilla. — Betty Hallock Greekish: Everyday Recipes With Greek Roots by Georgina Hayden I appreciate the ethos of Georgina Hayden’s “Greekish,” a casual, I-do-what-works-for-me approach to cooking inspired by her Greek Cypriot heritage. They expand beyond the flavors of the Korean American diaspora with “Koreaworld” and dig into Korean cuisine’s “global evolution” with recipes and interviews from home cooks, professional chefs and tastemakers around the world.
