Felicity has been a television journalist at ITN since 1989, covering all sorts of world events from the fall of Soviet communism to the US elections. She now combines that with a keen passion for food. She writes articles and features for a number of publications including the Telegraph and the Guardian, and has been a judge for the Great Taste Awards for the last eight years. Her main area of expertise, though, is desserts. Her signature dish is a crumble, her favourite pudding is Jewish baked cheesecake, or maybe a sticky toffee, and she strongly believes there are few situations in life which cannot be improved by a large jug of custard.

A beautiful book, with all the classics, which tells the story of the Jewish people through cooking.
I love so many of his books but this is the one I've used the most. Simple, delicious, fuss free.
Probably the book I've used the most: the brownies, the 'comprehensively stuffed squash', the zucchini bread... they never get old.
Again, hard to choose just one, but the sheer abundance of glorious vegetable dishes makes this impossible to resist.
Another great book of achievable vegetarian recipes.
Full of stories and recipes I'm longing to make...
If I'm homesick for the US I make something from this wonderful book based on a group of Connecticut specialty shops. Any book with a breakfast crumble recipe is a book after my own heart.
A wonderful celebration of everything that's great about Jewish nosh, from knishes to cheesecake - with beautiful photographs, illustrations and stories.
I love cake. And desserts. So no list could be complete without this.
No bookshelf would be complete without this.
I listen to podcasts of KCRW Good Food and NPR's Splendid Table
