It was impossible to resist including this cookbook in a list of the best, for obvious reasons. But seriously, this is a book of austere beauty and interesting twists from the mind of the renowned Sydney chef Mark Best. This is one for the bakers. It edges out other equally beautiful and inspiring baking books for the sheer fact of its reliability, as Belinda Jeffery is renowned for testing and retesting recipes until they are just right, which makes for appreciative neighbours.

Some cookbooks have over 100 recipes, and others might have fewer. There is no general rule when it comes to the number of recipes in a book. Cookbooks that focus on a specific cuisine may have fewer recipes than other more varied cookbooks. Individual caloric needs vary from person to person, and a cookie-cutter approach never works when figuring out someone’s nutritional needs. Age, height, weight, activity level, family history, lifestyle, gender, and overall health status all affect caloric needs. If you are worried about not meeting or exceeding your personal needs, consider working with a Registered Dietitian. Plenty is not a cookbook, although recipes are included in it: sorrel soup, caesar salad, and chocolate pots, for example. It makes the “best” list because it is one, if not the best collection of essays about Australian food and cooking by a writer who thinks deeply about food and eating and writes about it well.

It’s also where aficionados of Rantissi and Frawley’s Sydney cafe, Kepos Street Kitchen, will unearth the culinary secrets of their hot smoked salmon and potato salad and chocolate halva brownies. The unique flora and fauna that has nourished First Nations people for more than 100,000 years gets a mention in historical colonial documents and early cookbooks (fern syrup and native currant jam feature in an 1843 recipe collection printed in Australia) and yet remain a culinary mystery for many of us.

Whether you own a handful or a hundred, your cookbooks define who you are as a cook. You will have your own best-of list.
