Cooking by the book: recipes and cookbooks

The World

With days upon days of holiday cooking ahead of us, it’s the time of year when you’re most likely to consult a cookbook … or give one to your mom. Julia Moskin, New York Times food writer, and Adam Gopnik, staff writer for The New Yorker, join us for our very own cookbook roundup. Gopnik also examines the larger purpose of the cookbook in the age of the internet.
