Welcome to the Great British Chefs Cookbook Club! Find out how it works, how to get involved and what prizes you can win.

Even with the vast number of recipes available on the internet these days, there’s nothing quite like leafing through a beautiful book full of recipes. It’s a medium that’s stronger than ever before, with cookbooks topping bestseller charts throughout the year. If you’re anything like us then you’ll have shelves upon shelves of them in your home – some kept in pristine condition, others earmarked, stained and scrawled over after years of use.

It’s this national love for cookbooks that has prompted us to start our very own cookbook club. Each month we’ll select a cookbook that we think stands out from the rest and ask you, the Great British Chefs community, to cook a recipe from it. We’ll publish a small selection of recipes on our site so, even if you don’t already have the book, you can still get involved and see how your cooking compares to everyone else’s. Apply to join the Facebook group here and take a look at this month's book (and recipes) below. We've also included the winning post from last month's book, as well as some of our other favourite entries.

June is a throwback month

That's right, this month we're asking you to cook from any previously featured Cookbook Club book. Whether you use this as a chance to discover new recipes, revisit old favourites or try one out that's been on your list for a while, it's totally up to you but just make sure to post pictures of your creations over on the Facebook group. We can't wait to see which books you choose to cook from!

Last month's winners

In May, we asked you to cook from Cooking: Simply and Well, for One or Many by Jeremy Lee. Well done to Jang JJ Kwon for coming top – they win a prize! Take a look at their entry along with many more honourable mentions below.

Jang swapped sea vegetables for lettuce to create a truly memorable crab salad.
This beautiful spinach and crab tart from Kim Lesley Ferris made the ultimate centrepiece to a buffet.
Anna Schilling recreated Jeremy's potato pancakes, smoked eel, poached eggs and horseradish with great success.
Julie Singer managed to achieve the perfect finish on her pork chops by brining them first.
Mike Jones elevated this chocolate tart by using his own homemade marmalade.
These perfectly crisp sarladaise potatoes from Susannah Day made the ultimate side.
Another brilliant take on Jeremy's crab and spinach tart, this time from Yvonne Harris.

Make sure you post photos along with commentary of the dishes you cook this month in our Facebook group to be in with the chance of winning.
