This post is part of our community-driven book tournament, The Big Community Book-Off. With your help, we're finding the best books across categories (from bread to pasta, one-bowl to weeknight-friendly, and cake to cookies, to name a few), and putting them through a series of rigorous reviews—considered, tested, and written by none other than you.
Each month, Food52 community members cook their way through five cookbooks around one subject (vegan food! cookies! the Instant Pot!) and dub a winner. Our reviewers have baked bread and cakes, and eaten plenty of vegetables, too.
