This season’s batch of cookbooks helps home cooks navigate their kitchens with ease.

Picking up on her successful Dinner: A Love Story, Jenny Rosenstrach adds to the growing number of family meal-planning books with Dinner: The Playbook: A 30-Day Plan for Mastering the Art of the Family Meal. She and her husband, Random House editor Andy Ward, plan 30 days’ worth of entirely new dishes for their kids to try.

Meanwhile, Dana Cowin, the editor-in-chief of Food & Wine, appeals to the world’s great chefs for help improving her culinary skills, in Mastering My Mistakes in the Kitchen: 65 Great Chefs Teach Me How to Cook. Cowin, who also edits Food & Wine’s line of cookbooks, admits that she has ruined many a meal throughout her life, and she enlists David Chang, Alice Waters, Tom Colicchio, Thomas Keller, and others to assist her on 100 great recipes.

As usual, there’s no shortage of big-name chefs getting in the mix the fall with books with the words “fast” or “simple” in their titles. How to Cook Everything Fast: A Better Way to Cook Great Food, the latest in Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything series, prioritizes prep work. Bittman maintains that home cooks can produce any of these 2,000 dishes in 15–45 minutes.

Ina Garten also encourages home works to be prepared, in Make It Ahead: A Barefoot Contessa Cookbook. She imparts wisdom from her 25 years of running her specialty store and believes in keeping cooking as simple as possible, whether you’re cooking for your family or entertaining friends. Meanwhile Marcus Samuelsson, the former chef at Aquavit and now at his Harlem restaurant, Red Rooster, brings readers to his kitchen with Marcus Off Duty: The Recipes I Cook at Home. He offers comfort food from his native Ethopia and Sweden (as well as the Caribbean and the American South) with dishes like coconut-lime curried chicken.

Mario Batali takes readers out of the kitchen in America—Farm to Table: Simple, Delicious Recipes Celebrating Local Farmers, written with food writer Jim Webster. Batali travels to the South from his hometown of Seattle, and then back up to the Great Lakes, and offers recipes (some Italian inspired) that include a fava bean guacamole.

Phaidon, from its new offices in New York City, is coming out with what it claims is the Mexican version of its hugely influential Italian cookbook, The Silver Spoon. Mexico: The Cookbook, by Margarita Carrillo Arronte (a chef known as the “Marcella Hazan of Mexico”), features 700 recipes from south of the border, along with 200 full-color photos. And Gabrielle Hamilton, whose first book was the bestselling memoir Blood, Bones, and Butter, has written a much-anticipated cookbook from her restaurant; the book is simply titled Prune, after the restaurant.

Hoping to bring attitude into your kitchen, Rodale is publishing Thug Kitchen: Eat Like You Give a F*ck, from the popular blog of the same name. And joining a fast-growing library on spirits and cocktail making is Death & Co.: Modern Classic Cocktails, with More than 500 Recipes by David Kaplan, Nick Fauchald, and Alex Day, proprietors of the eponymous New York City lounge. The PW review noted, “Those with a palate for experimentation will have a field day with [these] symphonic recipes.”
