Cookbooks of the future

Eater recently posted a preview of this spring's most-anticipated cookbooks. Their choices include a book featuring a cover-photo of the author with a dead pig draped over her shoulders. (I'd post the image, but then I'd have to look at it again. Seriously: gross.) My cookbook shelves are full to bursting, but I'm tempted by Drops of God, the manga about wine. I don't actually drink alcohol, but I get a geeky thrill out of unexpected book/subject pairings. This is why I still periodically wrestle with the urge to buy that manga about the invention of cup noodle, nearly six years after it was published.
