Celia Sack is the owner of Omnivore Books in San Francisco. She joins Evan for the second year in a row to talk about the best cookbooks of 2013. Sack's favorites for bakers are Seriously Bitter Sweet by Alice Medrich and Sweet by Valerie Gordon. Chad Robertson's Tartine Book No. 3 and Pizza by Gabriele Bonci and Elisia Menduni are Sack's picks for best cookbooks for bread bakers. Her favorite chef-driven book is Manresa by David Kinch, and she says a future classic from this year is Suzanne Goin's A.O.C. Cookbook. Lastly, her favorite best-seller from this year is Ottolenghi by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi.

She also recommends books from two female culinary icons we lost this year: The Classic Italian Cookbook by Marcella Hazan and The Zuni Cafe Cookbook by Judy Rodgers.
