🖋 The Editorial Desk
Cookbook Shelf is curated by a small editorial team — cooks, bakers and recipe testers.
Between us we cover the range: bread and pastry, preserving and fermentation, regional and home cooking, and cooking for particular diets. Some of us come from professional kitchens; some from twenty years of cooking at home; the best of us from both.
What unites the desk is a simple rule: we do not recommend what we have not examined. Every title's description and Kitchen Score comes from an editor's actual reading, checked against the tradition's own literature.
