Whilst away in America last month I read Anthony Bourdains Kitchen Confidential book and would thouroughly recommend it to anyone who likes him or is interested in the restaurant business.
I have also just taken delivery of Giorgio Locatelli's Made In Italy book. I've only just scanned through the pages but it looks to be one that will stay on my bookshelf for years

my favourite book at the moment is nigellas 'feast', its full of comforting recipes that are perfect for that fast approaching dark chilly evenings. i especially like the section on christmas cooking.
my favourite book for summer though is bill grangers 'simply bill' his food is so light and refreshing.

Cheese - it's Simply Bill for me too - what a fantastic book. I'm also loving Ainsley's Friends and Family one (the pizza's great) and..ahem..the Cocktail Bible for when the kids have gone to bed!!
