Eater's Fall 2012 Cookbook & Food Book Preview, Part 1 - Book ...

There are a lot of cookbooks coming out this Fall. There are so many cookbooks coming out this Fall, in fact, that they literally did not fit in one Eater post; this Fall's preview has been split into two parts, so if you're not finding what you're looking for below, check out part two.

So what's new for Fall? The big news is pastry chefs are getting their due: not only is Thomas Keller releasing a stunning Bouchon Bakery cookbook, co-written by pastry chef Sebastien Rouxel, but there are also books coming out by Hedy Goldsmith of Michael's Genuine Food & Drink in Miami/Grand Cayman, Dahlia Bakery in Seattle, Brooklyn's Liddabit and Baked bakeries, and many, many more. Hope you have a sweet tooth.

American regional cookbooks continue to branch out beyond the South with not one but two books on the food of Portland, Oregon, many books on West Coast food, a book on Montana ranch food, and even a book on Chinese food in Minnesota since the 19th century. As for international trends, look for books on Southeast Asian cuisine (Charles Phan's Vietnamese Home Cooking, Naomi Duguid's stellar Burma) and lots of books about Northern African and Middle Eastern food.

And as for design trends, again there are bunches of jacketless cookbooks with super matte photos ? which unfortunately often has the effect of making photos look dull and even blurry instead of edgy. Just a little gloss, please? Also, there are a whopping eight cookbooks with exclamation marks in the titles (so you know people are super excited about them) and several books with black backgrounds. The chalkboard restaurant trend has made it to the printed page.

And now, without further ado, on to this year's crop of Fall cookbooks.
(Note: this preview covers books coming out between September 1 and December 31. For books coming out before September 1, see the Summer 2012 preview. For books coming out after December 31, stay tuned.)

Chefs, Restaurants, and Other Famous Food Folk

Vietnamese Home Cooking by Charles Phan.
The first cookbook from Beard Award-winning San Francisco chef Charles Phan doesn't focus on his modern Vietnamese restaurant the Slanted Door, but instead looks at home cooking. Looking for an introduction to Vietnamese cooking? This book could be it, with photo identification guide to unfamiliar ingredients and maser recipes for sauces, stocks and more.
Ten Speed Press: September 25.

F?viken by Magnus Nilsson.
F?viken is a super local restaurant in the middle of nowhere ? chef Magnus Nilsson's 12-seat restaurant is outside of the tiny town of J?rpen, Sweden, nearly 400 miles north of Stockholm. Not only will these 272 pages from Phaidon have you learning about an entire cuisine you barely knew existed, they'll have you plotting ways to go eat there. Here's Eater's preview of F?viken.
Phaidon Press: October 1.

Edible Selby by Todd Selby.
Photographer Todd Selby's first book based on his Edible Selby series, in which he travels the world photographing international food world figures like Danish chef Ren? Redzepi, Tokyo pizzaman Susumu Kainuma, and Eric Werner of Hartwood in Tulum, Mexico. The book also contains Selby's signature watercolors, handwritten questionnaires, and a recipe from each of over 40 subjects. Selby talked to Eater about the book back in March.
Abrams: October 1.

Secrets of the Best Chefs: Recipes, Techniques, and Tricks from America's Greatest Cooks by Adam Roberts.
For blogger Adam Roberts' second book, he set off across the country to learn from 50 of the country's best chefs. The people he worked with are too numerous to name here (see the full list), but Roberts tells Eater the techniques he learned from them taught him to "tackle my kitchen tasks with great ferocity and verve."
Artisan: October 9.

LudoBites: Recipes and Stories from the Pop-Up Restaurants of Ludo Lefebvre by Ludo Lefebvre.
While you're probably not going to be tackling chef Ludo Lefebvre's complex takes on foie gras (especially if, like Lefebvre, you live in California), the book will stand as an important record of the cultishly followed LudoBites pop-ups.
Ecco: October 9.

Paul Bocuse: The Complete Recipes by Paul Bocuse.
500 traditional French recipes, filtered through the kitchen of world renowned chef Paul Bocuse. If you're looking for a book to teach you the ins and outs of classic French cuisine, this may be the book for you (don't tell Julia).
Flammarion: October 30.

Jacques P?pin New Complete Techniques by Jacques P?pin.
Fans of P?pin's classic books La M?thode and La Technique rejoice: the master French chef has reshot all the photographs from those books for this new single volume. Everything from boning a chicken to making fancy decorative garnishes to (apparently) turning an old refrigerator into a smoker, P?pin shows you how to properly function in the kitchen with thousands of step-by-step photographs.
Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers: November 13.

L'Astrance: The Cookbook by Pascal Barbot, Christophe Rohat & Chihiro Masui.
