Happy 5th Birthday Kitchen Lit!

I can hardly believe it—Kitchen Lit is officially 5 years old! What started as a little corner of the internet to share my love of cookbooks has grown into such a vibrant community, and I’m so grateful to have all of you here to celebrate with me.

Over the past year, my cookbook collection has expanded in a big way. I’m now the proud owner of 235 cookbooks (a mix of physical and digital), and I know that number will only keep growing in the year ahead. Especially since there are over 1400 new cookbooks releasing in 2025 – check them out here! Every single book brings new inspiration, and I love discovering and sharing them with you.

There are so many exciting things coming this year! From fresh cookbook reviews to sneak peeks, recipes, and behind-the-scenes looks at my upcoming move this fall—it’s going to be an amazing journey, and I can’t wait to bring you along for all of it. Oh, and maybe even a visit to some cookbook stores – want to visit them yourself – read the full list here.

Thank you for being part of this adventure and sharing in my passion for cookbooks. Here’s to many more years of culinary discoveries, delicious experiments, and inspiration in the kitchen and to all the flavor-filled memories still to come.

Whether you’re a seasoned cook or just starting out, I hope this space continues to spark your creativity and love for cooking. Stay tuned for what’s next… and remember, the kitchen is where the magic happens.
