These Delicious Things: The new charity cookbook with amazing recipes from household names including Nigella Lawson, Jamie Oliver and Stanley Tucci
£20.20£23.80 (-15%)
These Delicious Things is a collection of nostalgic food memories and recipes from more than 100 of the UK’s top chefs and food writers. Published to support children living in food poverty, it is proof that when people give a piece of themselves for the benefit of others, incredible things can happen.
This is both a cookbook and a story book filled with childhood memories and scrumptious feasts. And it’s a book that wants to make a difference by supporting Magic Breakfast, a charity whose aim is to feed children living with food insecurity so they’re not too hungry to learn.
With recipes for every occasion and time of day, These Delicious Things provides elevated versions of well known favourites that will impress even the toughest (and smallest) of critics. Featuring household names such as Andi Oliver, Angela Hartnett, Asma Khan, Ching He Huang, Jamie Oliver, Nigel Slater, Nigella Lawson, Ravneet Gill, Raymond Blanc, Stanley Tucci, Thomasina Miers, Tom Kerridge, Yotam Ottolenghi, Zoe Adjonyoh and many more – These Delicious Things is the perfect book for variety and well-loved favourites. Recipes include Homemade Apple Pie, Wild Rabbit Korma, Filipino-style vegetable soup, Far Breton, and even an Apricot sidecar cocktail.
The charity Magic Breakfast provides breakfasts for children and young people in the most disadvantaged areas of the UK, fuelling their learning, growth and futures. Having breakfast every morning has real life impacts for children, from achieving better grades to displaying improved behaviour. Breakfast also has genuine effects on communities, helping families and providing a lifeline at a time of uncertainty fuelled by the cost of living crisis. For just 28p, Magic Breakfast can give a child a nutritious breakfast and the chance to succeed at school.
Written by the chefs we know and trust, with the future generation in mind, These Delicious Things makes cooking for a cause a pleasure for all.

I bought one book for me and one book for my mum for Christmas. What a gorgeous book.. I love the textured gold apple on cover, and the photos inside (for each recipe – I only make recipes when I’ve got a photo to go by). The recipes are varied (including many tasty sounding vegetarian recipes) and easily followed, and the couple I have made were, as the book suggests, delicious!
Also, each book sale gives money to the Magic Breakfast charity, which I think is lovely.

Wow the attention to detail of the photography is just beautiful. Really looking forward to trying some of the delicious recipes.

Buy this for everyone for Christmas – the book is beautiful, scrumptious recipes from so many top chefs. AND most importantly proceeds going towards Magic Breakfast a charity that feeds children breakfast before a day at school…

What a beautiful book. I bought it as a gift but I want to keep it so might have to get another one.
It is full of great recipes and food stories that make your mouth water. I love the Hakka Noodle recipe from Ping Coombes who won Masterchef. My purchase buys 18 hungry children breakfast in the UK through Magic breakfast. Good to see all these successful cooks care enough to give all their time for free to create something beautiful that tastes so good.
I just googled it and “The number of UK children in food poverty has nearly doubled in the last year to almost 4 million” 2023.
I guess I will be buying two and wolfing down more of Ottolenghi’s Hoppel Poppel.
