Want to Cook Like a Best New Chef? Start With Their Books — All 300-Plus of Them

1999 Food & Wine Best New Chef Rocco DiSpirito recently published his fifteenth cookbook, Everyday Delicious: 30 Minute(ish) Home-Cooked Meals Made Simple, but he was already the most prolific of his 389 fellow Food & Wine BNCs. That's saying something, considering that 1988 F&W BNC Daniel Boulud has penned nine of his own, 1990 F&W BNC Nancy Silverton has written 10 plus two more with her late ex-husband and fellow BNC Mark Peel, and 1998 F&W BNC Michael Symon has eight to his credit — increasingly focused on using food as medicine to fight rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.

It's not just cookbooks, either. Boulud's Letters to a Young Chef has become a seminal text on the art of mentorship, 2019 F&W BNC Kwame Onwuachi's Notes From a Young Black Chef is being adapted as a film, and 2016 F&W BNC Iliana Regan's Burn the Place: A Memoir was nominated for the National Book Award.

There are curiosities along the way as well — like several digital-only cookbooks that were released to much fanfare and are now, sadly, inaccessible; a collection of drawings by 2005 F&W BNC Daniel Humm; 1989 F&W BNC Keith Famie's spiral-bound rice cookbook written as a retort to viewers who taunted the Survivor contestant for a grain-related mishap on the show; and plenty more.

This collection of over 300 cookbooks, memoirs, nonfiction, self-help books, and other explorations of the written word won't just help you learn to cook. There's a good chance that, to borrow a title from 1990 BNC and soon-to-be memoirist Tom Colicchio, that these books will help you learn to Think Like a Chef, and feed your brain and soul along with your stomach.
