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.
This month we're going to be cooking from Flavour Heroes by Gurdeep Loyal. We adore this book, in which Gurdeep - an award-winning food and travel writer and columnist – takes 15 of his favourite global pantry staple ingredients and inspires us to play around with them to create dishes you'll want to make again and again. If you've been wanting to shake up your cooking but not sure where to start, this is the book for you!
In June we cooked dishes from across Great British Chefs' own range of cookbooks. A huge congratulations to June's cookbook club winner Mike Jones who wins a prize. Take a look at Mike's entry below as well as those from our runners up!
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.
