David Cameron on whether The Thick of It accurately represents the Conservative publicity machine: "I love The Thick of It. V funny... but only true about the other lot (not)."

Don't be put off if you've seen her on her TV show, this book is fantastic. Focussing on simple food and classics it has a great selection of recipes including ones for Christmas, birthdays and entertaining. They are all easy to follow and actually work (it's the kind of cook book where I have cooked new recipes when people are coming around as I know it'll work).

The style of the book is warm and friendly - this is written by someone who clearly knows/loves food but still appreciates it. If I had to keep just one book this would be it.

It has the best chocolate birthday cake ever in it too!
