My favourite books are ingredient driven. Love the suggestions in the margins they give me ideas.
Anne Willan
This book covers everything especially technique and when the lessons of cooking school are hazy I turn to this book to remind me.
Elizabeth Schneider
So much great information in this book, plus interesting recipes from different chefs.
Dorothy Hartley
A book everyone should read. Packed with all sorts of information, where else can you find a recipe using goose fat for stiff joints?
Jane Grigson
History, solid information and excellent recipes. I love Jane Grigson I want all of her books in this list.
Jane Grigson
No apologies for selecting Grigson again, hard to choose just one more, but this one is a classic.
Patricia Wells
I have several books by the chef himself, but Wells makes all his recipes work.
Arabella Boxer
This is a beautiful book with fabulous photographs but the content is wonderful and the recipes are solid.
Simon Hopkinson and Lindsey Bareham
Another ingredient based book by the wonderful Hopkinson. I love all his books but this was the first one I read.
Richard Olney
There are lots of menu cookery books but I love Olney's clear voice and the way he puts a meal together.
