History will probably show that this was the year we spent most of our time in the kitchen. Between prohibited and limited indoor dining options and unpredictable weather for outdoor meals, many of us were forced to our stoves for sustenance. For those who could barely tell a whisk from a spatula, it was probably like being trapped in a never-ending episode of "Worst Cooks in America."

For the rest who fell somewhere between these two profiles, step-by-step recipes served as the map for our lunches and dinners. Whatever the skill level, EDGE has compiled a list of recent cookbooks by LGBTQ chefs, food writers and celebrities. These holiday gift ideas are a sure way to satisfy the savvy palates of friends, family, colleagues and lovers.
