Pub day klaxon for the brilliant @cardiff.mum and her spectacular new book 5 Meals for £25. Ash is such a brilliantly creative cook and her mission to make tasty, achievable meals accessible to anyone watching the pennies (kinda all of us right now!) is such an important one. Proving that frugal food can be downright delicious, these £25 meal plans will keep the whole family happy all week long and empower savvy home cooks to take Ash’s money saving hacks into their own cooking. Making a book like this needs a brilliant team and this one is no exception!

Happiest of publication days to the uber talented @johngs and his BRILLIANT book The Greatest Traybake Cookbook EVER. These recipes have been cooked on repeat in my house since they first landed in my inbox a year ago and I’m so excited for the world to get to finally try them. Every single one of them is an absolute banger - full of flavour, low effort, fancy enough for a dinner party whilst being simple enough for a Tuesday. The title promises a lot, the book completely overdelivers! A brilliant book needs a brilliant team and this one is no exception!

THIS BOOK is finally out in the world today and I couldn’t be more excited to be publishing it. @seemagetsbaked is such a creative force and she has distilled all of that energy perfectly into this beautiful book. The recipes are truly incredible and really do satisfy every craving you could possibly have. It’s such a joy of a book and Seema deserves all the praise and accolades for pouring so much love and care into it. I can’t stop cooking from it and neither should you! This was, as ever, a real collaboration and we had the best team, all of who immediately got the vision for the book.

Happy publication day to this beautiful thing from the lovely and incredibly clever @airfryeruk . Clare’s first l air fryer book js a multiple Sunday Times no.1 bestseller and has sold just shy of 190,000 copies! THIS book is (in my humble opinion) even better! Testing the limits of what you can achieve in the air fryer, Clare has created recipes for 80 delicious full family meals (all serving 4 or more) that can be made entirely in your air fryer basket. Pasta, curry, noodles, soup, roasts, breakfasts, puddings - you name it, it’s in here! All simple, all delicious! Clare is such a delight to work with and has thrown everything into making this book the most delicious and most useful it can possibly be. Wonderful team as ever!
