These Cookbooks Are So Aesthetically Pleasing, They Double As Home Decor

Cookbooks make the best coffee table books.

Cookbooks are one of those things you can never have too many of. They’re aesthetically-pleasing, great conversation starters and the perfect way to source some foodie inspiration. 

While everyone is quick to grab travel and decor themed books for their coffee tables, we’ve always believed that cookbooks are the way to go. This way, you’re actually getting a two-for-one deal. Not only will you have beautiful books to display around the house, but they’ll also provide delicious entertaining recipes as well. That definitely justifies you buying at least five, right?
