One of my
favourite posts of the year! It's time to trawl through the shelves
and have a look at some of the best cookbook releases of this year. I
haven't noticed as many cookery programmes on television this year as
usual but there are a few TV tie-ins worth taking a look at. One very
exciting release this year has been from fellow blogger Karen
Burns-Booth. Get writing those wish lists!
Born out of
the horrific fire that engulfed the Grenfell Tower this book brings
together recipes created by the Hubb Community Kitchen. There's
recipes for all meals and snacks throughout the day. Each recipes
tells the tale of the life of the person who created it. All profits
from this book will go benefit Hubb Community Kitchen.
No foodie
trip to London is complete without a wander around Borough Market.
Celebrate a year of seasonal cooking with recipes inspired by the
produce on sale at the market. Find out about some of the traders and
the ancient history of the market.
Many of you
will know Karen from her brilliant blog Lavender and Lovage
and her cooking challenges such as Tea Time Treats. In this
book she brings together her passion for seasonal and regional food
and recipes. All the photographs are shot by Karen in her own
beautiful style.
From Great
British Menu to Great British Bake Off Prue Leith
is now a familiar figure on the TV. She has a lifetime of experience
in food including running a cookery school. This book brings
together Prue's favourite dishes that anyone can follow and recreate.
The teenager
baker charmed millions week in, week out with his creations on last
year's Great British Bake Off. This led to his own show on Channel 4
and this book to accompany it. Discover fun and informal bakes to be
shared with friends plus a few showstoppers.
Known for
his hard hitting criticism on Masterchef Tom
Parker Bowles is also a well respected food writer. Get this book to
prepare the most scrumptious of feasts this Christmas with a little
help from the heritage of Fortnum and Mason. There's also some
healthy recipes to get you back on track in January.
Classic
French recipes turned from rich and heavy dishes turned into light
and easy to make family meals. Michel Roux Jr looks to his French
upbringing and adapts his favourite meals suitable to made at home
everyday.
Perhaps not
a household name but cookery book enthusiasts will know Diana from
her previous books plus her regular column in the Daily Telegraph. If
you have ever struggled to put a menu together with food pairings
that complement each other this is book for you. Pick from a
selection of menus and recipes that travels the world and different
seasons.
Few years go
by without me receiving a new Mary Berry book. This one is re-issue
of an old one but is fully updated with new photographs. Perfect for
the baker without much time or if like me has to make up to10 cakes
for one bake sale!
Perfect for
the cold winter months as this urges you to take the time over
preparing your food. Find stews and roast and indulgent bakes. You'll
also learn the techniques for making your own pasta, noodles and
pastry.
What books
have you got on your Christmas wish lists? Have you bought any new
cookbooks for Christmas recipes?

Good selection there. I much prefer a book or print off than reading online.
