Dear Bookman Beattie,

It's a great time to be a cookbook lover - the IACP has just announced its cookbook award winners, while the JBF has published its list of finalists, and The Piglet has crowned its 2017 champion. We would love to hear about
what inspired you to become a cookbook lover.

This month's monster
cookbook roundup contains several special books from talented authors like Annabel Langbein, Deborah Madison, and Melissa Clark, plus many more from bloggers and chefs. With this many choices, you are bound to find a new favorite book.

We are featuring our Easter and Passover
Pinterest Boards to take the stress out of holiday meal planning. To round out the month, we have your favorite lists and an amazing number of giveaways. Happy cooking!

Cookbook awards season in full force

Last month we learned who the IACP nominees were; now we know the winners - Deep Run Roots by Vivian Howard was the star of the awards. The JBF recently announced its 2017 cookbook award nominees, but we have to wait a few weeks to learn who will reign supreme in that contest. Look for a few dark horse candidates in that race. The 2017 Piglet competition had its share of upsets and controversial reviews, but a winner emerged nonetheless. Congratulations to Asha Gomez's My Two Souths, which bested 15 competitors in that contest.

The making of a cookbook collector

It can start with a gift, a family heirloom, or out of necessity because no one in the family could cook. Before you know it, you're a collector! When Jenny shared her cookbook collecting story and asked EYB Members how they started theirs, the replies were fascinating. Find out how others began their collection, and share your own story, on the EYB blog »

With over 120 books, March's roundup rivals the bounty of releases that usually arrive in the fall. Travel from the comfort of your kitchen with titles featuring the cuisine of Malaysia, Burma, Greece, and India. Immerse yourself in new releases from several renowned cookbook authors including Patricia Wells, Deborah Madison, and Annabel Langbein (it's her 25th book!).
