Despite the continued stresses of the worldwide pandemic, there has been no shortage of wonderful new cookbooks this year. And no shortage of best food and drink book lists celebrating the cream of the crop. We have assembled 332 lists from around the world to create our 14th annual Best of the Best.

For years, each time Ottolenghi published a new cookbook he garnered the top spot, but last year he did not. This year he snagged the third spot. Korean American: Food that Tastes Like Home by Eric Kim has the honor of best book of 2022.

As well as the top 10 books of the year plus six runners up, we have charts showing the votes from the UK/Ireland, Canada and Australia/New Zealand. We also produced specialist charts for Vegetarian & vegan, Drinks, and Food writing/memoirs. Check out all the lists plus look back over the previous 13 years’ lists.
