Master Chef is back on our screens and dominating the viewing for Tuesday and Saturday nights.  It appears that Master Chef brings out the ingenuity of home chefs around the world and, whether it's from the local show or overseas franchises, you can be sure that Master Chef cookbooks bring together an ecclectic mix of inspired cookery.
If you just can't get enough of Master Chef or you want to get your hands on some Master Chef tips and recipes then check out the great selection of the best Master Chef cookbooks below.  My favouite is the one I can't get my hands on yet - Nadia's Kitchen.
Pre-order "Nadia's Kitchen" Now Nadia Lim was the winner of Master Chef New Zealand in 2011. Her relative youth, she's 25, combined with her Kiwi/Malaysian heritage means her cooking style is deliciously modern.  Some of the recipes inher new book include: Mint & Caper Lamb, Lime Coconut Bombes with Raspberry Sauce (yum!), Chocolate  Panna Cotta with Plum Sorbet, Cranberry Coconut Cake and so much more for you to enjoy.
Jax Cooks:  She's fronting some Countdown TV ads at the moment but her cookbook gives you 90 of her favourite recipes that represent her story told in food.  Sub-titled "Great Food for Family & Friends", the recipes have Jax's simplicity and great flavours.
Master Chef New Zealand Vol 2 This is the book of the 2011 series and includes extra information from the Master Classes.  The best recipes from the Top 12 contestants and the three judges Simon Gault, Ray McVinnie and Josh Emmett are included with spectacular colour photography to whet your appetitie.
The MasterChef Kitchen Bible from the UK is as focused on kitchen skills as it is on classic recipes that should be in any Master Chef's repertoir.
The Junior Master Chef Cookbook from the Australian series is perfect for budding Master Chefs who want to extend their skills or even for adults who were embarasses at how great the kid-chefs were on that show.

Jamie Oliver has published an enormous number of books.  Many of the early ones were establishing his chef-credentials, but many subsequent books are accessible to every-day home cooks.  Here are some of my favourites.
