The holidays are a time for lounging around the house, cooking, eating and maybe even flipping through the pages of a good cookbook to get inspiration. There are literally dozens of books that are churned out each year; so for the second year in a row, Rick and Steve thought they’d do some of the editing for you, with a list of some of our favorites.

Whether it’s for yourself, or for that person in your life who loves to cook, you’ll want to grab a pen and take some notes. Your holiday season is about to get a little bit tastier.
