Cookbooks of 2021

Sheila Dillon, Dan Saladino, Jaega Wise and Leyla Kazim discuss their favourite food and drink titles from this year.

What are the books that the presenters of Radio 4's The Food Programme have been relishing this year? You are about to find out.

In this episode, Sheila, Dan, Jaega and Leyla get together at 'Books for Cooks' in London's Notting Hill to share their favourite titles; the ones that have made them think, that have inspired them to get creative, and have simply filled them with joy.

We also catch up with The Bookseller's Tom Tivnan to hear how publications and sales have been this year, food writer Signe Johansen shares her knowledge and experiences of ghost-writing in the cookbook world, and Eric Treuille, who first opened 'Books for Cooks' in 1983 shares with the team a recipe from his book of 2021.

Produced by Natalie Donovan in Bristol.
