High on our list of Good Fall Things (like apples, apple pie, apple cake) that make the impending doom of the end of summer more tolerable? A new batch of fall cookbooks.

The timing couldn't be better: It's cool enough (like, under 90°) to turn on the oven again and we've got stacks of highly-anticipated books in the wings, just begging to be cracked open and cooked from. But with so many titles, where you should you begin? Whether you're a hardcore pasta person or an armchair traveler, our team has a recommendation that will make your reentry into fall (and the kitchen) a lot more delicious.
