The 5 cookbooks you need in your life

Hemsley + Hemsley

If you haven’t spotted the family and brand name either on social media or in the news, then you must have been hibernating for the past year! This cookbook is the result of the Hemsley sisters’ years of knowledge of, and passion for, good food and eating well. Their main philosophy is to eat natural foods that have been ‘foraged, hunted or grown’ and to avoid processed and refined food. And you won’t be short of ideas – the cookbook is a dense catalogue of delicious recipes with a complete glossary of all ‘the good stuff’ to have in your kitchen cupboards. The recipes can be as classic or adventurous as you fancy; we like that we can choose between a good old (healthy) Lamb Curry or Shepherd’s Pie recipe and an indulgent dessert like Pear and Five-Spice Crumble with Ginger Crème Fraîche.
