Our Discussion: Cookbooks – as library staff, people know that we love books, but it’s slightly less well known, that we love food too.  I’m a massive tea and cake fan and always look at the back of all recipe books to see what the puddings are like.  So, we’ve brought in a few that we want to recommend …

  • Jack Munroe, Vegan(ish)
  • The Really Hungry Vegetarian Student Cookbook
  • Honeybuns gluten free baking by Emma Goss-Custard
  • Anything by Madhur Jaffray
  • The Official Dr Who cookbook by Joanna Farrow
  • Gordon Ramsay’s Ultimate Home Cooking
  • The Great British Bake Off Showstoppers by Linda Collister
  • Mary Berry Quick Cooking
