Lately, I've been in a cooking rut...as in, I've been way too languid and overheated and scrambling between bouts of summer travel to actually turn on my stove. So it's been all about crudité platters and dips of various stripes; cheese plates aplenty, and some good, new-fashioned salads.
But I can only eat this way for so long—I yearn to return to the kitchen to make all manner of braises, roasted vegetables, and hearty, creamy pastas. More than that, I'm itching to try new dishes from the treasure trove of forthcoming fall books that cross my desk at this time of year. Here's a list of the 10 new cookbooks I'm most excited to dive into this fall, and beyond. They're organized by publication date, so mark your calendars and get ready to cook up a storm.
