Eat Your Books names the Best Cookbooks of 2013

.. and the winner is Pok Pok by Andy Ricker

This is our 5th year of compiling the Best of the Best, and this is the first year there weren't one or two clear front-runners.  Any one of the top 10 books looked like they could win, but at the end Pok Pok edged ahead.

Congratulations to Nigel Slater for achieving a Best of the Best first - two cookbooks in the top 10 in the same year. And congratulations go to Ten Speed Press who published 6 of the top 10 books listed below - including the top 4 books. This is an incredible achievement for one publisher.

We amalgamated 192 Best Cookbooks of 2013 lists from TV, Radio, Newspapers, Magazines, Websites, Blogs and Booksellers across the world (there are links to all of them below) to come up with the definitive guide to the best books on food and drink.
For those of you interested in data:
