Healthy Cookbooks Dominate the Best Sellers List
“Oh, Thug Kitchen, how far you’ve fallen,” lamented Amazon book editor Seira Wilson in her assessment of September’s best selling food books on the e-commerce site. “[But] not that far,” she admitted.
After all, Thug Kitchen is still holding strong in the No. 4 slot. But that’s a departure from its position in best seller lists of past months, usually the top or second spot.

Titles that promise healthy food and weight-loss tips dominated the list for September. Two books from the Trim Healthy Mama series snagged both the top and third positions, sandwiching the ever-popular dietary guide The Whole30. Paula Deen is also back on our radar with her latest, Paula Deen Cuts the Fat, which managed to secure the No. 8 slot even after Deen’s scandals of years past. We wonder if her turn on Dancing With the Stars has anything to do with it.
Also of note is Wine Folly: The Essential Guide to Wine, which alongside Franklin Barbecue and the latest from The Pioneer Woman, is one of the only list’s only non-health-oriented titles. Sometimes even health nuts need a drink.

But back to Thug Kitchen. Wilson noted that its authors needn’t be crestfallen for long. “Next month, Thug Kitchen Party Grub releases,” she said. “Will it be the Thugs against the Trim Mamas? We’ll have to wait and see.”
