2016 has seen the publication of a record number of Cookbooks. Most of the TV star cooks have produced a book or two during the year and even sportspeople are getting in on the act.

Not all of these books have the right ingredients to produce a really good read though. A truly good cookbook brings more to the table than just a list of recipes.

I visited Ken McGuire, another lover of a good cookbook, to talk about some of the best the year had to offer on his radio show on KCLR. Ken kindly recorded our chat and has it available on his Blog here:
