Book SynopsisTrade Review“Joanna Gaines just made her first official foray into the food world with the launch of her cookbook, Magnolia Table, and we’re happy she did.” — MyDomaine “My point is, I know a good biscuit when I see one (and more important, when I taste one). And in my opinion, Joanna Gaines has struck gold with a biscuit recipe that took her a year to develop.” — Huffington Post “Joanna and Chip Gaines’s announcement that Fixer Upper was ending thankfully coincided with the news of Jo’s first cookbook, Magnolia Table. Seven long months later, that cookbook is finally in stores, and fans have wasted no time singing its praises.” — Delish “From a beautiful but simple veggie and cheese quiche, to zesty grilled salmon with a refreshing cucumber salad, and a time-tested batch of chocolate chip cookies — each one of Gaines’s recipes holds the power to bring about an effortless gathering anywhere, anytime.” — Refinery 29 “The latest in their growing portfolio includes… Joanna’s first cookbook… As she did with becoming a designer (she never had any formal design experience when she and Chip launched their home-flipping business), she’s taken an unconventional approach to cooking.” — People “Some people just seem too good to be true. Joanna Gaines is one of those people… I’ve followed her recipes carefully and heeded her advice, and in my opinion, she can add successful cookbook author to her resume.” — Mary Cadden, USA Today “Joanna Gaines is a multi-media force to be reckoned with… Gaines comes across as so likeable, approachable, and real on TV, and her charm and grace translate effortlessly to every page of Magnolia Table.” — Philadelphia Inquirer “Anyone who’s ever watched HGTV’s Fixer Upper will immediately recognize Joanna Gaines’s style in her new cookbook… Magnolia Table is filled with family stories and memories surrounding meals; individual favorites… diverse recipes… and some recipes that are used in their restaurant.” — PopSugar “Joanna Gaines may be famous for her trend-setting taste in interior design, but she’s currently making waves in the culinary world with the release of her first cookbook.” — Real Simple “Now that the shiplap-loving home décor guru has opened her own restaurant… we’re looking to her new cookbook, Magnolia Table, for every family meal from now on.” — Pure Wow “Flip open her new cookbook, Magnolia Table, and you’ll quickly find that Fixer Upper star Joanna Gaines can navigate her way around the kitchen just as expertly as she does a construction site or wall of shiplap.” — Tasting Table “You can bring Gaines into your kitchen with her first cookbook… and it’s a page turner. A lot of cookbooks cross my desk each year. But this one caught my eye. It has a lot of recipes that will appeal to all, especially families.” — Detroit Free Press “Joanna’s recipes and gorgeous photography feel home-cooked, farm-raised, and restaurant ready all at once… Gaines is deeply rooted in her Southern culture—and Magnolia Table’s recipes truly illustrate that identity.” — Cooking Light “Everything Joanna Gaines touches is beautiful, including every recipe in her cookbook, Magnolia Table.” — Family Circle “Once upon a time, in a land before the Magnolia Table cookbook, we never dreamed of straying from our family biscuits recipe. But when Joanna Gaines has some thoughts on biscuits, we listen… And having tasted these delectable, crumbly biscuits… we assure you, the detour is worth it.” — Southern Living

Book SynopsisINSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND A NEW YORK TIMES CRITICS' PICK“Thrilling . . . [told] with gonzo élan . . . When the sommelier and blogger Madeline Puckette writes that this book is the Kitchen Confidential of the wine world, she’s not wrong, though Bill Buford’s Heat is probably a shade closer.” —Jennifer Senior, The New York Times Professional journalist and amateur drinker Bianca Bosker didn’t know much about wine—until she discovered an alternate universe where taste reigns supreme, a world of elite sommeliers who dedicate their lives to the pursuit of flavor. Astounded by their fervor and seemingly superhuman sensory powers, she set out to uncover what drove their obsession, and whether she, too, could become a “cork dork.” With boundless curiosity, humor, and a healthy dose of skepticism, Bosker takes the reTrade ReviewWinner of 2018 M.F.K. Fisher Award for Excellence in Culinary WritingFinalist for the 2018 Gourmand Award for Wine Writing Finalist for the 2018 William Saroyan International Prize for Writing (Non-Fiction)“Bosker’s journey into this sodden universe is thrilling, and she tells her story with gonzo élan. . . . She gives great gossip . . . [and] is, in the main, great company as a narrator—witty, generous, democratic . . . When the sommelier and blogger Madeline Puckette writes that this book is the Kitchen Confidential of the wine world, she’s not wrong, though Bill Buford’s Heat is probably a shade closer to this book's sensibility and heart.”—Jennifer Senior, The New York Times“Reads like a wine lover’s equivalent of Dante’s ‘The Divine Comedy’: There is paradise, but only after glimpses of purgatory and hell…A funny, thought-provoking and at times frightening look at the sublime tastes, enormous egos and curious rules of a profession that is both insanely rigorous and occasionally ridiculous.” —Associated Press"A madcap 18-month journey...[that's] as informative as it is, well, intoxicating." —Fortune, “The 4 Books You Should Read This Spring”“A funny, fascinating adventure.”—Real Simple“Cork Dork is remarkably entertaining. Bosker is a talented writer, a thorough reporter and is unfailingly funny.”—The San Francisco Chronicle“A savory romp...[that reveals] not just the intricacies and nuances of flavor that vary from grape to grape, but why wine has become such a social staple for the entire world—and how the way we drink it can potentially change our lives.” —Harper’s Bazaar, “12 Books You Need to Read in March”“Both an entry-level guide to the ever-growing business of wine and a masterclass in the strange, immensely skilled fanatics who make it their life’s work.” —The Atlantic, "25 Books Atlantic Staffers Are Reading This Summer"“If Malcolm Gladwell were to write a book about wine, the results wouldn’t linger much more pleasurably on the palate than this accessible, adventurous, amusing and informative book by Bianca Bosker.” —The Times (London)“[An] often-hilarious memoir.”—Good Housekeeping“An informative and riveting read that doesn't take itself too seriously—a much needed dose of reality the wine world could benefit from.” –Bon Appétit“An essential primer on food's favourite companion, Bianca Bosker's incredible book offers an investigation into taste, smell, and restaurant culture any foodie will appreciate.”—BuzzFeed, "27 Books Every Foodie Needs In Their Library"“Incredibly well written, intelligent, witty, and highly entertaining.” —Eater“As fresh and fun as a Wachau Riesling…packed with helpful information, wrapped in honest inquiry, and slathered with humor and wit.” —Terroirist“One of the most entertaining drink-related memoirs in years.”—Punch“A page turner . . . I heartily recommend [it].”—Martin Moran, The Sunday Times (UK)“Refreshingly accessible...It’s delightful and informative to see a subject as potentially stodgy as wine appreciation refracted through the perspective of someone young, female, and very smart.” —Portland Mercury“[A] must-read wine book.”—San Jose Mercury News “You’ll never feel lost in front of a wine list again.” —Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilley of “Gastropod,” via The Atlantic“I loved this book. It’s not just about wine. It’s about learning how to listen to your senses, to more deeply experience and appreciate the world around you, and everyone could use another glass of that.”—Mary Roach, author of Gulp“In this smart and sharply observed book, Bianca Bosker takes us on a marvelous journey through the mad, manic, seductive subculture of wine and wine lovers. It’s also a deeply felt story of her own experience, told with great heart and wit.”—Susan Orlean, author of The Orchid Thief“Cork Dork is a brilliant feat of screwball participatory journalism and Bianca Bosker is a gonzo nerd prodigy. This hilarious, thoughtful and erudite book may be the ultimate answer to the perennial question of whether or not wine connoisseurship is a scam.”—Jay McInerney, author of The Juice “In this delightfully written and keenly observed book, Bianca Bosker helps us become connoisseurs not only of wine but also of people whose passions would more aptly be described as obsessions.”—Walter Isaacson, author of The Innovators“Speaking as someone who barely knows a good Bordeaux from a bottle of Boone's Farm, I was charmed and entertained by this book.”—John Jeremiah Sullivan, author of Pulphead “The Kitchen Confidential of wine: Read this book, and you’ll never be intimidated by wine—or wine snobs—again.”—Madeline Puckette, co-author of Wine Folly “Fascinating…Thanks to Bosker’s sensory descriptions, we get to taste and smell alongside her, without dealing with the thousands of hours of study and endless flashcards first.” —Bustle“An informative yet funny examination of wine.”—Brightly, “The Best Books of Early 2017”“A quest—both hilarious and horrifying—to understand the nature of taste.”—Imbibe “An entertaining read.” —Phoenix New Times“Reading Bianca Bosker is like sitting down with a brilliant, curious friend for an after-work drink, and suddenly finding it’s midnight and the table is littered with empty bottles. Between her hilarious exploits and thoughtful meditations on wine and life, you’ll want to stay for just one more.”—Lauren Collins, author of When In French “A joyful journey of discovery into the ‘soul’ of wine, filled with wit and insight at every step.”—Maria Konnikova, author of The Confidence Game “If you have wondered about the mysteries of wine, and the airs of people who claim to know something about it, Cork Dork is essential reading. Read it and you will never look at wine in quite the same way again. This is reportage of a high order.”—Roger Cohen, author of The Girl from Human Street “Rollicking and lively...I gulped down this book with enormous pleasure.”—Julia Flynn Siler, author of The House of Mondavi "I have read many 'wine books,' some casual, some pedantic, and many happily informative. But Bianca Bosker’s book stands out as being spectacularly successful in teaching us about wine, in making us love wine, and in presenting a tone of unfailing good humor."—Richard E. Quandt, The Journal of Wine Economics“Always perceptive, curious, and entertaining, the author describes her experiences with precision and a wry sense of humor...Readers will certainly come away from the book knowing more about wine and likely eager to explore it further, but even those less inclined to imbibe will be intrigued.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“An interesting look at those with an unquenchable thirst for those unique bottles of vinicultural perfection.”—Booklist “A page-turning and fascinating memoir.”—Publishers Weekly
