The Best Cookbooks of 2023

A Cookbook Filled Welcome Back for 2024- Friday Food Chat with Kath

Happy New Year! I hope the last month or so since I last popped in your inbox has been good.

My year has started off in a very busy way, not at all the quiet January I had planned! A little baking has been done (it’s far too humid for lots of baking at the moment!), a quick trip to the Blue Mountains and lots of sorting, cleaning and organising in preparation for a big year ahead.

For this first newsletter of 2024, I am starting with my favourite kind of chat (hopefully yours too?), cookbook chat.

We need to recap the year of cookbooks that was 2023, and I have selected what I think were the best cookbooks of that year (a.k.a my favourites pictured above!). Click the link below to read the full blog post on why I think I’ll convince you they were indeed the very best of 2023.

Please tell me what your picks for 2023 were? The comments of the blog post and this newsletter are open for all suggestions and debate!

And finally, while I was taking a break from Friday Food Chat with Kath in January, my paid subscribers over on Extra Food Chat with Kath received a couple of new posts which you can preview below (including an announcement about something I am very much hoping I can complete this year now I’ve told everyone about it!).

If you’d like to support my work further and get these kinds of newsletters straight into your inbox please consider upgrading your subscription to become a paid subscriber today.

Ginger Snap Iced Tea

It’s far too hot and humid to bake much here in Sydney at the moment, so iced drinks like this one have been on high rotation for the last month. Iced teas like this one can also be frozen into popsicles/icy poles for a great frozen treat on those annoyingly hot Summer days.

If you enjoy these newsletters and want more baking, food and cookbook chat, I invite you to join me over on my paid newsletter Extra Food Chat with Kath today.

Paid subscribers get to share in my Heirloom Recipe Series were I am baking my way through my Grandma’s handwritten recipes and are immersed in more cookbook chat so you can more easily decide which cookbooks to add to your collection next.
