Last week
Giada De Laurentiis fourth cookbook,
Giada's Kitchen ($32) hit bookshelves. The book release coincided with the relaunch of her website,
Giadadelaurentiis.com. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a copy of the glossy hardback with Tiffany-blue interior.

When I need culinary inspiration, I turn to one of many
cookbooks. But unless I'm feeling extraordinarily creative, I'm not sure I'll be turning to the
latest cookbook to hit the circuit.
The Testicle Cookbook: Cooking With Balls was just published by Ljubomir Erovic.

Ever since the onset of
Oktoberfest, I've had beer on the brain. Naturally I decided to break out my copy of
The Ultimate Beer Lover's Cookbook. The tome is authored by John Schlimm, a descendant of the
Straub beer empire.

How you feel about
Nancy Silverton's Sandwich Book depends on how you feel about sandwiches. If you see sammies as a fast dinner option on a busy night, then this is not the book for you. But if you prefer to elevate your humble sandwich with gourmet ingredients, then you should give Silverton's book a shot.

One of my favorite chefs, Nate Appleman of San Francisco's
A16, has debuted a new book co-written with his wine director, Shelley Lindgren, entitled
A16 Food + Wine.
To celebrate the cookbook's debut,
Williams-Sonoma, which will carry the book, hosted a launch party with the authors on hand. There, I not only scored a copy of the book but also sampled some entries from the new tome.

Celebrity chef and media mogul
Rachael Ray may be
penning a poignant memoir, but a sarcastic someone is about to beat the star to the punch in publishing a book about herself. Every Freaking Day! With Rachell Ray by Elizabeth Hilts (
$12.99) will parody the media mogul's monthly magazine,
Every Day With Rachael Ray.

Lately I've been feeling a little depressed about Summer coming to an end. I need something to get me excited for Fall, and have decided on a cookbook.
Not just any old cookbook; I want one that features Fall's most fabulous flavors, and I asked you to help me find it.

Lately I've been feeling a little depressed about Summer coming to an end. I need something to get me excited for Fall, and I think a cookbook will do the trick. Not just any old cookbook, though.

From recipe card filing systems to customized innovations like the
tastebook, there are many ways to organize recipes. Still, if you
own more than a dozen cookbooks, keep some of your
family's recipes on record, and have limited kitchen space, maintaining an organized cooking library can be tough.
I've always struggled to arrange my kitchen paperwork —
treasured family recipes, cookbooks, personal creations, recipes I've come across online, and appliance instruction manuals — all in one place.
