I think it's the same one I turn to but I got the later version as well. Picture for every recipe.

One other well used book is Mary Berry's Baking Bible. So many gorgeous cakes etc.

Fast becoming fav is Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's VEG book

I have Mary Berry's original Cookery Book.

Quite a large tome but as its published by Dorling Kindersley, the pictures are glorious.

Although I have bought many, many cookery books since then, I always return to this one for a definitive answer.

I love it .

So many recipes online, but my go-to book is Delia’s Complete Cookery Course.

It’s a big paperback, my version 1992 so nearly 30 years old, very tatty, stained, but very precious.

My mum gave it to me as an ‘extra’ Christmas present, and every time I use it, which is quite often, I picture her standing with her specs on in our local bookshop, perusing the recipe books and deciding on this one.

Thanks Mum, it was a really useful and much appreciated gift.

Wish you were still here to see me making such good use of it.
