Christmas cookbooks – 12 new recipe books on our wishlist

Marcus is my favourite part of Masterchef: The Professionals and his cookbook is inspiring; it's not all cordon-bleu and gives you plenty of ideas for family mealtimes.

Love the Hairy Bikers. Wish they were my uncles. But they're not, so I'll make do with their warming recipes instead. Plus, one-pot recipes mean less washing up. WIN.

If you can't make it to one of the Dishoom restaurants, then recreate their magic in your own kitchen. "From Bombay with love" indeed.

We all know that the best way to cook is with seasonal produce, but it can feel unachievable when you're scouring the shelves at Asda. Nigel Slater gives you plenty of seasonal veg-based recipe ideas - this is the second part in his Greenfeast books, the first version being Spring, Summer.

Fearne Cotton writes cheerfully and honestly, even if she does like a bit of name dropping, but her approach to veganism is positive and full of plant-based ideas and hacks.

If you think diet food is boring, then get a copy of this - anyone for chocolate brownie? ERR YES PLEASE.

My shelves are sagging with GBBO recipe books, and I can't resist another one. This one is focused just on cakes - HURRAH!

If you're trying to eat healthily then it can feel dull and tasteless, but Pinch of Nom is full of low-calorie recipes that are full of flavour.

Beautifully written by our favourite French chef, these recipes are inspired by Raymond Blanc's love of the British orchard. It's a love affair with apples and a bit of history, too.

OK this is one for the kids - personally, Shane's theme tune drives me insane but he does get my little boy interested in the kitchen.

A number-one best-seller that is simple to use and big enough to cook dishes for up to four adults.

Sage are perhaps best known for their espresso machines, but that have a wide range of products that all have a very professional look and feel.

The addition of a digital timer to this Crock-Pot slow cooker makes it ideal for working families who are out of the house but want a hot meal to come home to.

Crock-Pot is the original slow cooker brand and this is their basic model but offers so many culinary possibilities.

This 6.5 litre VonShef slow cooker is the perfect addition to your kitchen if you are looking for an easy and inexpensive way to cook taste packed dishes for parties of up to eight people.

It might look like something you would see on MasterChef but the Instant Pot Duo is a simple to use multi-function cooker that is a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, and steamer all rolled into one - it can even make yoghurt.
