Another excellent standby book, for those moment when you need to make hollandaise or bisque. It's not the most beautiful book I own by a long stretch, but it's one of the most useful.

I've just started a year-long project where my partner and I cook from just one book for a whole week. This book was the first and every recipe was a delight.

Sami Tamimi and Yotam Ottolenghi

Choosing between Yotam's books is like trying to choose between children - I love them all. This one perhaps inches ahead because (as the author of books which aspire to this style) I love cookbooks which are firmly rooted in the places that their recipes evolved in.

The Ethicurean Cookbook

I'll admit that I don't cook from this that often, but it's so inspiring and so lovely to look at.

Long before everyone started making cauliflower 'rice', this book got me making pesto with cauliflower. It could be prettier - it's all shot on a black background - but it's full of great things to try, especially brunch-y, breakfast-y dishes.
