Boiled, Baked & Basted

In this new series, chefs pick a selection of their favourite and most well thumbed cookbooks and talk about why they have singled them out for the programme.

These chefs are passionate about food and they devour books which give them inspiration. They're the kind of people who choose cookbooks as their bedtime reading! 

The majority of them have huge collections of cookbooks and so it was a difficult task for them to single out a few for special mention.   

Books dating back to the late 1800s, those published in this century and everything in between will be included in this series. 

Each programme will feature one chef talking about his/her  chosen cookbooks.  Their selected excerpts (read by actors)   will give a flavour of the different styles of writing and cooking in these books.
