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.

Join us in October as we cook from a book from one of the Club's most popular chefs, Marcus Wareing. In Marcus' France, the chef explores the cuisine and culinary techniques that provide the foundations for everything he does. Classic dishes, familiar favourites and regional specialities all sit side-by-side, ensuring you're learning about the culinary culture of France while you rustle something up for dinner.

In September members cooked from chef Santiago Lastra's new book, Mexican Soul. A riot of colour and flavour ensued, all made using easy-to-source ingredients (for the most part, anyway!).

This month's winner is Anna Schilling with her crab burritos. We were so impressed by not just the burritos, but the whole effort – making the tortillas, refried beans and pistachio guacamole from scratch to go alongside. A well-deserved winner this month!

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.
