Roast Chicken and Other Stories by Simon Hopkinson
It's not hard to see why this unpretentious gem of a cookbook was voted 'The Most Useful Cookery Book Ever' by a panel of food writers, restaurateurs, chefs, cooks and consumers. Unlike some other books by top chefs, this one - divided into sections covering his favourite ingredients - is packed with recipes and tips designed to inspire rather than impress. If you don't like cooking, read it anyway. It's as good as a feast.
