Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat by Samin Nosrat
If you only buy one cookbook this year, make it this one. It's more than a recipe anthology (though the recipes are there and they're great). Instead of telling you what to cook, this book actually teaches you how to cook. Nosrat's style is never preachy but rather fun and approachable. It's the perfect gift for anyone who wants to become a master in the kitchen.
