Coolio
Cookin’ With Coolio: The Ghetto Gourmet
We had to add this one in just for the lols, but believe it or not rapper Coolio has a food web series, also called Cookin’ With Coolio – who knew? His cookbook features budget-friendly recipes for fusion cuisines like Blasian and Ghettalian, and recipes with names like ‘Drunk ass chicken’ and ‘Pimp my Shrimp; tbh we’re going to buy the book for the recipe names alone.

If you’ve ever been puzzled by vegan food, you’re not alone, but Lucy Watson’s debut cookbook makes vegan food straightforward,delicious and totally accessible. It’s got healthy dishes as well as comfort food and recipes for every occasion, from quick and easy weekday suppers to blow-out Sunday lunches. And of course, it’s all vegan.
Antoni Porowski
Our favourite member of the Fab Five is already a bonafide chef – he’s just opened his first restaurant in New York – but the Queer Eye star is set to release his own book of over 100 recipes in early 2019. He’s been mocked for his simplistic recipes on Queer Eye, ‘guacamole anyone?’, but says his recipe book will include a mix of simple and more complex dishes for every skill level. We literally cannot wait.

Did you know Kelis has given up her music career in favour of becoming a Cordon Bleu chef? True story. Her first cookbook is inspired by her love of food globetrotting; it includes recipes from her Puerto Rican heritage, her travels around the world and her childhood in Harlem.
