There have been some fantastic new releases this year but as the festive season rolls around we’re all thinking about our bellies so today we have five of the best recipe books for 2018, for all you foodies!
This year has brought absolutely loads of cookery books from unknowns to celebrities and even royalty and today we’ve narrowed it down to our five favourite cookbooks of 2018, here they are!

Together – Our Community Cookbook
This one has a foreword by the Duchess of Sussex and was put together by survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire. The volunteers gathered at the Hubb (love in Arabic) Community Kitchen to share their favourite family recipes with the world.
The Modern Italian Cook
Joe Trivelli has spent the last 17 years at the River Café under the shadow of Rose Gray and Ruth Rogers. Now he’s collected all his recipes in one fantastic book, and if you love Italian this is a must have!


Strudels, Noodles & Dumplings
Gemutlich is the new hygge, promising a world of comfort. Author Anja Dunk was brought up in Wales but learned about food and flavours from her German mother’s cooking. Familiar yet foreign, these recipes come with a mix of nostalgia through a firmly modern voice.
Simple
The clue is in the title with this one. Yotam Ottolenghi brings together simple recipes with great advice for preparation and simplifying the cooking process for those who are short on time.


Solo: The Joy of Cooking for One
Anyone who has had to cook for one, knows what a chore it can feel but Signe Johansen takes a different approach covering everything from one pan wonders to easy puddings!
