COOKBOOKS

Jess is independently publishing her cookbooks. They’re all printed by a family-run press in Wales using sustainably-sourced papers.

‘Midweek Recipes’ – the first in the series was released in August 2024 and was the biggest ever selling cookbook for Topping & Company as well as one of the Spectator's best books of the year.

The follow up, ‘Weekend Recipes’ came out in August 2025 with matched success.

‘Vegetable Recipes’ was published in August 2026. Anna Jones said “it’s a very beautiful book, tactile and friendly and with pictures that tell the story…it’s genuinely a thrill for me to see such a great book centred on vegetables”. Diana Henry said “I urge you to go and get your hands on it” in her column for The Telegraph.

Vegetable Recipes
from £23.50

In this, the third book in the series, I’m sharing my favourite vegetarian dishes that celebrate the glorious variety of vegetables available throughout the seasons.

Including recipes for Leeks Vinaigrette and Celeriac Remoulade for enjoying with baguette; crispy Fennel and Onion Bhajis; a light summertime lasagne with courgettes and ricotta béchamel and comforting pumpkin-curry pastries for the colder months, this book is filled with easy, reliable dishes for everyone to enjoy.

Written, tested and published from my Studio in Edinburgh, with photography taken at The Hugo Burge Foundation glasshouses in the Scottish Borders.

New Series of Mini Cookbooks…

BISCUITS, the first in a new series of mini cookbooks is available for pre-order now.

“Homemade biscuits represent a genuine act of care. To me, they are the essence of hospitality without the loudness of putting on a big, grandiose supper. I’ve been cooking and baking all sorts of things for years now, be it when I had my restaurant, for cookery demonstrations in my studio, at pop-ups and supperclubs, for my main series of cookbooks, or even just day-to-day for my friends and family. Yet nothing quite gets the reaction that a tray of homemade millionaire’s shortbread does.

Biscuits make people happy, and I’m here for it.”

Recipes by Jess Elliott Dennison with contributions from; Nathan Cal Danby, Adriann Ramirez, Michèle Roberts, Rachel Roddy, Stroma Sinclair, Katie Smith, Zsuzsanna Toth, Camilla Wynne.
