5 Celebrity Cookbooks To Gift Your Loved Ones This Holiday Season

Holiday season means more food, which invariably means cooking a whole lot more – because nobody likes microwave dinner or takeaway on a Christmas eve. That said, not everybody is well-equipped with good culinary skills or have top notch traditional holiday recipes up their sleeves, which is precisely where cookbooks come in! I know I know, it’s all available on the Internet, but what’s the fun in that? Also, celebrity cookbooks do demand a certain price even if you want the digital version, so why not do it the old-school way this holiday season and gift these cookbooks to your loved ones?

1. Jamie Oliver’s ‘Christmas Cookbook’

Packed with a list of delicious feast recipes followed by a few to pep up your dessert and high tea as well, Oliver’s cookbook is not for the waist-watchers or health conscious. In fact, this one – as a holiday cookbook should be – has been in the news for its over indulgent 10,000 calorie holiday meal!

2. Alton Brown’s ‘EveryDayCook’

Alton Brown gives his latest literary venture a personal touch by sharing with readers recipes that are close to him. Also, he refrains from venturing into fancy ish and instead pens down glutinous and delicious comfort food. “Nobody wakes up in the middle of the night craving soy sauce spheres. We wake up craving pizza. I’m far more interested in helping people get to the dishes they kind of already want,” Brown says.

3. Chrissy Teigen’s ‘Cravings’

Christened ‘Cravings: Recipes for All the Food You Want to Eat’, the model’s cookbook hit bookshelves early this year in February. And following the overwhelming response by her fans, Teigen, who has been known and loved for her food choices, along with Sussman, who is also popular as a ‘cookbook maker’ and ‘recipe slayer’, have been keeping busy in the kitchen, whipping up recipes for a part two of her cookbook. Till the duo release the awaited part deux, treat your loved one with the best-selling first part!

4. Lady Gaga & Joe Germanotta’s ‘Joanne Trattoria Cookbook’

Lady Gaga and Daddy Gaga have bestowed upon the culinary world a new Italian cookbook this fall. Titled ‘Joanne Trattoria Cookbook: Classic Recipes and Scenes from an Italian-American Restaurant’, the cookbook features a foreword by the singing sensation, while the recipes are all a part of Gaga’s family heirloom.

5. Anthony Bourdain’s ‘Appetites’

Bourdain, who is known for vagabond-ing across the globe (with and without the President of The United States), sinking his teeth into the most delicious food, has released his much-awaited cookbook titled ‘Appetites’. The chef has previously penned a number of bestsellers like Kitchen Confidential and No Reservations: Around The World On An Empty Stomach, so you can blindly put your money on the man’s latest literary venture.

Happy Holidays y’all!
