1. Skinnytaste One and Done by Gina Homolka – Gina is one of my favorite bloggers of all time. All her cookbooks are amazing! This one is her new release, and it’s full of recipes that can be made in your Instant Pot, Dutch oven, slow cooker, air fryer, and more.
2. Salt Fat Acid Heat by Samin Nostrat – This is just one of the best cookbooks I’ve ever owned, and it’s a great cookbook for resources, too. This cookbook is so good that it inspired the creation of her recent series on Netflix.
3. Inspiralized and Beyond by Ali Maffucci: What I love the most about this cookbook is that all the recipes are easy, delicious, and fresh. Also, there are lots of recipes that replace wheat products with veggies, which satisfies paleo, gluten-free, and low-carb diets.
4. The Fresh and Healthy Instant Pot Cookbook by Megan Gilmore: Amazing cookbook for those who love their Instant Pot. Lots of delicious and easy recipes for all the family.
5. Easy Culinary Science for Better Cooking by Jessica Galvin: This cookbook is absolutely great because the recipes are straightforward, easy, and delicious. The best of all, Jessica offers up the science behind each recipe.
6. The Complete Anti-Inflammatory Diet for Beginners by Dorothy Calimeris: Great cookbook for those who have some kind of chronic disease and need to adhere to an anti-inflammatory diet. VERY good!
7. For the Love of Cheese by Afrim Pristine: I met Afrim Pristine at a food blog conference this year, and the way he talks about cheese makes everybody fall in love with it. In this book, he teaches you the best ways to buy and store cheese and how to pair different cheeses with different beverages, and how to create the cheese board of your dreams.
8. The Whole30 by Melissa Hartwig: This is one of my favorite cookbooks of the year. It is designed to help you break behavior patterns and reduce cravings, particularly for sugar and carbohydrates. It’s an awesome book to learn more about what it’s good for you and what you should be eating to feel your best.
9. The Whole Smiths Good Food Cookbook by Michelle Smith: This cookbook has more than 150 recipes that are Whole30-compliant. Throughout the book, icons help readers identify which recipes fit their diet, such as gluten-free, paleo, low-carb, and Whole30.
10. Made Whole by Cristina Curp: It’s a cookbook that combines Paleo and low-carb/ketogenic diets, using only whole, natural, unprocessed ingredients.
11. Joyous Detox by Joy McCarthy: I also met Joy in person a few months ago. What a beautiful person!  I am a big fan of her work and everything she does. Her cookbooks are amazing, but my favourite is this one, which it’s full of detox-friendly recipes that are simply delicious and fully nourishing.
12. Easy Dairy-Free Keto by Maria Emmerich: Keto and low-carb recipes for those who want to avoid or can’t eat dairy products.
