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.

For February, we asked for your help on choosing our next cookbook. It was a tough choice, but we’ve decided to go with Dishoom: From Bombay with Love. It’s a love letter to Bombay, packed with vibrant and comforting dishes, including their famous Black Daal, alongside beautiful storytelling. We're looking forward to seeing what you make, and what you discover! 

In January we asked you to cook from any and all of our past Cookbook Club books. This was a chance for you to dig into your cookbook archives and rediscover some books you may have missed from years gone by. Congratulations to Flossie Jane Olsen, this month's winner, for an amazing and delightfully green pasta dish. Take a look at that recipe, and all the runners up, below.

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.
