Best Gourmet Cookbooks of 2006

From Brett Moore, About.com

2006 was a fantastic year for great cookbooks! There were books by some of the world's greatest chefs like Daniel Boulud, Marcus Samuelsson, and Michel Roux. We saw some wonderful dessert cookbooks from some of the country's best pastry chefs, including a book by America's best chocolate producer Scharffen Berger. There were definitely a huge volume of exceptional cookbooks this year. However, since this site is dedicated to gourmet food I have narrowed my favorites down to the twenty most outstanding books related to gourmet cooking.
