For those of you interested in data:
- From 326 lists there were 3,028 votes
- 856 different cookbooks made the list
- 435 cookbooks had only one vote
1. Plenty More by Yotam Ottolenghi
This is the fifth year in a row that Ottolenghi has had a book in the top 10 and the third time he has had the number one book. No other book came close to this book's universal popularity - it was the number one book in every country we get polls from.

2. Prune by Gabrielle Hamilton
Gabrielle's memoir, Blood, Bones & Butter was the top rated food writing book in 2011. Her first cookbook has proved equally popular. This is a cookbook like no other before - a restaurant kitchen manual with notes to line cooks, stains and scribbles and no index (EYB to the rescue).

3. Baking Chez Moi by Dorie Greenspan
Dorie's books on baking and French cooking are well loved, so much so that entire blogging groups have been created around them. This time Dorie combines both loves in one book and proves to us that all French women do not just buy dessert from the pâtisserie.
