Kristina's title and every interview I've read about her book capture me! I love all these interviews, especially what each author considers their indispensable cookbooks.

Thanks Sarah! I always love to hear that answer to. A couple of people I’ve talked to refuse to say, haha.

I love hearing how books come to be and this one seems extra special. It’s also so refreshing to feel the rigor in which you really dig into each book!

Thanks Sally! I LOVE diving deeply into the books. As an author myself I know how much had to happen, how many decisions had to be made before the books gets into my hands.

I think Kristina totally nailed her title-- love it!

As for other delightful titles, I nominate Kitchen Diaries by Nigel Slater, A Good Bake by Melissa Weller, Lunch at the Shop by Peter Miller, the Homemade series by Yvette van Boven, Small Victories by Julia Turshen, Cook As You Are by Ruby Tandoh, the Secret of Cooking by Bee Wilson, and Dessert Person by Claire Saffitz.

I love these! Thanks Kat. I'll second, especially, Small Victories, because it's so appealing, and Dessert Person, because, well, I am one.

Getting the title right is SO hard. i really love "six seasons" - maybe because the concept of the book itself is so brilliant.

I am so curious to see the photos after hearing about the circumstances under which they were shot!

They are beautiful and appealing, but still feel natural and doable. Kind of the perfect combo!
