The Best Cookbook of 2010? Make Your Voice Heard!
I'm on a tear, reading the cookbooks, food memoirs and other food-related tomes that have been piling up the last several months on top of the piano bench in my living room. If those dozen or so books weren't enough to keep me busy, Food 52 has unveiled its list of this year's most intriguing reads--its Sweet Sixteen--for their Second Annual Tournament of Cookbooks. Join the fun!
Last fall I rooted for Canal House Cooking, and though it was eliminated in the third (of five) rounds, it was resurrected in the fourth, the Wildcard Round, where two deserving books are brought back into the game. Last year the folks behind Food 52 got to choose which two books deserved a second chance. This year, you get to weigh in.
Leave your choice for the best cookbook on the Food 52 site, here, and they'll use the two with the most votes in this year's Wildcard Round. But do it soon. Voting ends Wednesday, September 29th! (Then let us know your choice to win the Piglet Trophy in the Tournament of Books!)
