Keep meaning to send this along as a new Forthcoming list of titles.
There aren't many this time. Of course the new Hieatt volume should be  
at the head of the list.

Arriving shortly is:

The Cookbook Library: Four Centuries of the Cooks, Writers, and  
Recipes That Made the Modern Cookbook (California Studies in Food and  
Culture) [Hardcover]  Publication Date: April 2, 2012 | Series:  
California Studies In Food And Culture

"This gorgeously illustrated volume began as notes on the collection  
of cookbooks and culinary images gathered by renowned cookbook author  
Anne Willan and her husband Mark Cherniavsky. From the spiced sauces  
of medieval times to the massive roasts and rago?ts of Louis XIV?s  
court to elegant eighteenth-century chilled desserts, The Cookbook  
Library draws from renowned cookbook author Anne Willan?s and her  
husband Mark Cherniavsky?s antiquarian cookbook library to guide  
readers through four centuries of European and early American cuisine.  
As the authors taste their way through the centuries, describing how  
each cookbook reflects its time, Willan illuminates culinary  
crosscurrents among the cuisines of England, France, Italy, Germany,  
and Spain. A deeply personal labor of love, The Cookbook Library  
traces the history of the recipe and includes some of their favorites."
