As most of you are aware, I continually update the 2021 Cookbook Preview post with additions each week. Working on the EYB Library and adding new cookbooks is one of my favorite jobs. Adding these soon-to-be released titles to our preview post gives me the same feeling of excitement as Christmas morning to a child.
Today, I’m going to share a deeper look into some stellar titles coming in the months February through May that I have had the pleasure of reviewing a galley. The 2021 Cookbook Preview shares a detailed listing by month of most worldwide cookbook releases (so many great books this year, again) but the following provides a taste of what we have to look forward to this year.
How do we even begin to make any larger, lasting sense of 2020 the loss of lives and livelihoods, the government failures and the tapped reserves of fortitude and ingenuity and kindness? Flipping a calendar page to a new year doesn’t make everything suddenly better, but I’m going to trust the world won’t look quite as dire by next December.
For the final 2020 installment of the Tasting Notes newsletter (thank you for subscribing and reading!), it felt appropriate to round up the year’s most meaningful work written and produced by the Food team.

The mega-project that Patricia Escárcega and I spend months on each year
is here! Its official title is “101 Restaurants, Dishes, People and Ideas That Define How We Eat” a mouthful of a name that barely expresses the devastation of 2020 and the resilience that the restaurant industry continuously puts forth to survive this crisis.
