COOK THE BOOKS

With cookbooks sitting at the top of best seller’s lists for months, Cook the Books is a series that celebrates cookbooks and their famous authors.

Hosted by broadcaster, foodie and cookbook-fan Carly Flynn, the series is a chance to meet celebrity chefs, writers and culinary stars and to look at the most popular cookbooks on the market.

Some cookbooks are beautiful to look at, others contain stories as well as recipes, some contain exotic recipes, others feature simple meals we can all make at home in just a few minutes.

Over eight episodes Carly will share a specially designed Cook The Books kitchen with the likes of Al Brown, Simon Gault, Nadia Lim, Martin Bosley, Robert Oliver, Lauraine Jacobs, Chelsea Winter and Michael Van de Elzen to celebrate their life in food and share their recipes and secrets to success. When did they first start cooking? Where did their love of food come from? What was their first big break? Favourite foods and favourite food writers?
