Okay, so before you go all Cersei Lannister on me – hear me out. I am a fantasy fiction fan. Dragons? Love them. Magic tales? Yes please, I’d read them 100 times over. I have read Lord of the Rings more times than I’d care to count, Terry Pratchett makes my sides aches from laughter, and don’t even get me started on Harry Potter, as I would just never stop. However, somehow Games of Thrones leaves something to be desired.
As the 13th series of Masterchef comes to a dramatic close (don’t worry – no spoilers here) we got to thinking here at World of Books, what are our go to cookery books and recipes? What are our signature dishes?

From a very young age I was encouraged by my parents to read books and lots of them, because to me it never felt like a chore or something I had to do, I really enjoyed it.
Before the Harry Potter craze really took hold of me (and I mean really – I am still massively obsessed with the wizarding world despite being an actual grown up now) I loved the stories of Roald Dahl.
‘Good Omens’ by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
Described as “wickedly funny” and “Heaven to read” by Time Out magazine, ‘Good Omens’ by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman is definitely a humorous feast for the imagination.
Written in 1990 at a time when Pratchett was just beginning to reach the top of his game and Gaiman was primarily still a graphic novelist, this book quickly became a cult classic, winning the World Fantasy Award nominee for Best Novel in 1991 and the Locus Award nominee for Best Fantasy Novel in the same year.
