I enjoy cooking but mothering three little ones means that creative recipes are usually at the bottom of my list of things I can tackle during the week. Honestly, that is one of the reasons why I love Home Chef so much! It takes away so much of the work and leaves the fun behind!
Anyway, when I do have a moment to think through creating a meal, these are the two cookbooks I am most likely to grab. And listen: I included a baking cookbook on this list because baking is something that I can always find time for since it doesn’t need to be hot and ready for 5 people in the 5 o’clock hour.
Magnolia Table by Joanna Gaines: Try the 3 Cheese Quiche!
Cravings Hungry for More by Chrissy Teigan
Sally’s Cookie Addiction by Sally McKinney: Everything I’ve made is so good, but my favorite recipe is for the Monster Cookies.
I’ve since ordered theSmitten Kitchen Every Day: Triumphant and Unfussy New Favoritessince I often search for Deb’s recipes online. I can’t wait to get it!
Home Chef is what I use for dinners most nights of the week if I’m being totally honest. But I’m still happy to have the cookbooks in my cabinet for times when I want to look for something new.
Do you have a cookbook that you reach for over and over again? I’d love to hear about it in the comments!
Thanks for sharing! I need to check out Chrissy Teigen’s cookbooks – I love her! ❤️✨

Cook Once, Eat All Week is hands down a favorite here! Not a single bad recipe in the entire book! You can either meal prep with it or cook that evening- recipes are simple but flavorful!
My two go-tos are Half Baked Harvest Super Simple and The Defined Dish. Great blogs too!

Add A Pinch by Robyn Stone is my go-to cookbook!
我刚5成分和杰米·奥利弗的真的love it!
I love Sally’s Cookie Addiction, too! There are so many great cookie recipes online (including Sally’s), but the cookie cookbook is used time and again. I love flipping through it before the holidays to pick out our treats for cookie boxes.
Other favorite: Minimalist Baker. I’m not vegetarian, but her book has so many great and flavorful recipes. Perfect for when friends are coming over.
“The Food Lab” by J. Kenji Lopez-Alt! He explains the science behind cooking methods in a very understandable and humorous format. Also has wonderful graphics, photos and recipes.
I love Magnolia Table too, and anything from Pioneer Woman, and Barefoot Contessa.
I own every Giada Italian cookbook that is available and have NEVER once been disappointed in any meal I have ever made from her book. I would say the once I reach for the most is Weeknights with Giada. Some great quick and easy meals that are delicious!
Those cabinets are beautiful! They’re so high, though! Do you just use decorative accents for those top shelves and use the bottom ones for the stuff you use? I love the idea of tall cabinets but don’t know how functional they’d wind up being for me.
I like the recipe books by Six Sisters Stuff. My favorite is A Year with Six Sisters Stuff.
I love Chrissy Teigen, and have been meaning to get Sally’s Baking Addiction, per your recommendation!
My favorite favorite ‘recipe developer’ (is that what we call them these days?) is Jessica Merchant. She has Seriously Delish, and The Pretty Dish. Both are amazing, and The Pretty Dish includes a large section on DIY beauty products using stuff from your kitchen. Her recipes are typically pretty easy, not huge (my issue with Chrissy Teigen recipes), and just so so good.
Any Barefoot Contessa cookbook! Probably “Back to Basics” if I had to pick one.
All of the Skinnytaste cookbooks by Gina Homolka. I have been following her blog for years. Her recipes are the best!
I love A Year With Six Sisters Stuff cookbook. Meal plans and all the recipes are easy, family friendly and good!
I follow a handful of food blogs (Sally’s is one of them!) and I find I regularly am making things from How Sweet Eats, Two Peas & Their Pod, Pinch of Yum and Gimme Some Oven! Their recipes are always winners! I’ve recently tried a few recipes from Half Baked Harvest (follow her Instagram, her food photos are stunning!) and her banana bread may be the best I’ve ever had.
Those are all of my favorites too! Everything from HBH has been a hit. Her recipes tend to be a little more involved, so I’m not using them a ton right now BUT! all tasty.
Once Upon A Chef is the most used cookbook I’ve ever owned. The recipes are wonderfully elevated, yet do not require any fancy ingredients or complicated techniques. Plus, every recipe I’ve made has been a winner with my family. Cannot recommend it enough!
I didn’t see your comment before I posted mine. We love Jen! Her recipes are so easy to follow and everything we’ve made turns out absolutely delicious!
We love Once Upon a Chef’s cookbook. Her hummus recipe is one use almost weekly. It’s on Amazon.

Nigella Lawson – How to be a domestic goddess and Nigella Bites
I love all of the skinnytaste cookbooks! Her blog is great too!
I find Chrissy Teigan to be rude, crude and very vulgar, so I’ll pass on her cookbook, but your others sound very tempting! I love my good old Better Homes & Gardens and Betty Crocker books. Patricia Heaton’s cookbook is really fun! It has a recipe for homemade pop tarts! Taste of Home’s annual books are fun to look through too! Six Sisters Stuff is my go-to website for quick meals, but I have to tweak them ALOT to make them healthier.
I hope your family is well and enjoying your nicer weather!
The Peach Truck Cookbook! Not just for summer, there are all sorts of recipes for using canned/frozen peaches and a really helpful “How-To” section for freezing and canning peaches.
I’m quite busy and work from home, so my nanny does most of the cooking. I use Google and food blogs for the infrequent times that I must cook.
I rarely read an actual cookbook these days, but iambaker.net and thegirlwhoateeverything.com are always favorites!
My favorites are the same Magnolia as you, as well as Pioneer Woman and Ina Garten’s Barefoot Contessa.
I love and reference the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. Between the recipes and tips and tools in it, it’s a great cookbook for beginner as well as experienced cooks. This is would make a great gift for a college graduate or a newlywed couple.
The first cookbook of Ree Drummond, the pioneer woman is great!!
The Defined Dish by Alex Snodgrass. Hands down the best cookbook out there for healthy meals the whole family will eat.
每个Skinnytaste cookbook!!
Please try the Chicken and Dumpling Soup from The Magnolia Table…one of faves!
Barefoot Contessa! Ina never fails! Family Style is one of my favorites but her last 4 books are all excellent.
Any of Ina Garden’s cookbooks!
Skinny Taste – One & Done and Air Fryer cookbook. I follow her blog and Instagram. Love her recipes.
Euna Mae’s!! Amy Hannon is the author and it’s just fabulous!
Giada’s Kitchen
The Domestic Geek cookbook and Instant Loss Lose Weight are also great! Excited for the new magnolia table part 2!!!
OH my goodness. You MUST go over to Half Baked Harvest’s insta. Her content is absolutely ridiculous. Shes got 2 cookbooks. Every single thing she posts makes me drool instantly (and I’m a Chef and professional bartender). It’s just not fair.
For some reason, even in our age of the Internet, I always turn to my old cooking books again and again. There must be something so warm and homely about it… I like it so much!
The Pioneer Woman’s Dinnertime cookbook gets used often in my house. It’s not just dinner in the book. There’s breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts too. Kid approved dishes section are the ones my pickiest eater enjoys.
This is my favorite cookbook, and the author Sara Foster, has a cafe right here in our area in Durham! It is wonderful for those of you locals who haven’t tried it yet.
