Fall's 12 Best Cookbooks

The world needs another celebrity chef cookbook like I need another beet and goat cheese salad. Up until a few months ago I thought this was true (ok, it still is about the salad) but looking at the stack of upcoming fall cookbooks piled on my desk, it's clear that this is the best lineup I've seen in my eight years at the magazine. Grant Achatz's Alinea cookbook alone should excite you. Add in offerings from Adria, Ramsay, Keller, and Robuchon and you see what I'm talking about. The three I can't keep my eyes off of? The mind-boggling Big Fat Duck Cookbook from the radically inventive Heston Blumenthal; Ripert's behind-the-scene peak at Le Bernardin in On the Line; and Carmellini's Urban Italian. I still can't make pasta as good as Carmellini's, but at least now I can try. Here's the month-by-month releases (check out all 12 picks over at bonappetit.com). Which do you think will be this season's bestseller?
