My list is short this year, and I’m going to admit I’ve done significantly more reading of cookery books than actually cooking from them, which is very much reflected in my choices. You can take as read that the new Nigels (plural!), the new Roasting Tin, the new Kate Young are firm favourites – they literally always are, there’s no need to go into details. There are also new favourites in the form of the first cookbook from Dishoom, and Priya Basil’s reflections on food, community and the dinner table in Be My Guest.
