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.
This month's cookbook is Chinese-ish by Rosheen Kaul and Joanna Hu. Chinese-ish celebrates its two authors' blend of cultures through recipes which proudly claim to be inauthentic. Rosheen and Joanna's Chinese heritage is still clear to see in everything from dumpling recipes to rice dishes but acts as an influence rather than a binding set of rules. Expect unconventional but incredibly tasty recipes for all levels of cook.
To get a taste for the book take a look at the three recipes below, but to really get stuck in, buy a copy from our shop here.
In February, we asked you to cook from Hoppers: The Cookbook. Well done to Leya Lakshmanan for coming top – they win a prize! Take a look at their entry along with many more honourable mentions below.
Make sure you post photos along with commentary of the dishes you cook from Hoppers: The Cookbook in our Facebook group to be in with the chance of winning.
