Recipe Books
I can think of nothing nicer than curling up on the kitchen sofa with a cup of Twinings Assam Tea in my Emma Bridgewater mug and reading recipe books. There is something innately relaxing about browsing through recipes and jotting down notes, marking pages for future use or just enjoying the sumptuous pictures and cheffy banter.
Here I list some of my faves. Many I use all the time, but there are a few classics that I am too shy to try to emulate…just yet. I’ll let you work out which ones are which, but in the meanwhile here are my recommendations for your bookshelf. If you have any to add, please do comment below!
