She now combines that with a keen passion for food. She writes articles and features for a number of publications including the Telegraph and the Guardian, and has been a judge for the Great Taste Awards for the last eight years. Her main area of expertise, though, is desserts. Her signature dish is a crumble, her favourite pudding is Jewish baked cheesecake, or maybe a sticky toffee, and she strongly believes there are few situations in life which cannot be improved by a large jug of custard.

Felicity's favorite cookbooks
Real Fast Food
I love so many of his books but this is the one I've used the most. Simple, delicious, fuss free.
The Moosewood Cookbook
Probably the book I've used the most: the brownies, the 'comprehensively stuffed squash', the zucchini bread... they never get old.
Plenty
Again, hard to choose just one, but the sheer abundance of glorious vegetable dishes makes this impossible to resist.
River Cottage Veg Every Day!
Another great book of achievable vegetarian recipes.
My Paris Kitchen
Full of stories and recipes I'm longing to make...
The Hay Day Market Cookbook
If I'm homesick for the US I make something from this wonderful book based on a group of Connecticut specialty shops. Any book with a breakfast crumble recipe is a book after my own heart.
Eating Delancy: A celebration of Jewish Food
A wonderful celebration of everything that's great about Jewish nosh, from knishes to cheesecake - with beautiful photographs, illustrations and stories.
How to be a Domestic Goddess
I love cake. And desserts. So no list could be complete without this.
Chez Panisse Café Cookbook
No bookshelf would be complete without this.
