Gary Rhodes published 20 cookbooks between 1994 and 2008. Rhodes Around Britain (1994) launched his publishing career, and subsequent books covered everything from seasonal cooking (Cookery Year) to quick meals (Short Cut Rhodes, Great Fast Food). His later titles like Great British Food (2008) and Gary Rhodes 365 (2008) distilled decades of cooking knowledge.
The early trilogy of Rhodes Around Britain (1994), More Rhodes Around Britain (1995), and Open Rhodes Around Britain (1996) focused on regional British dishes updated for modern home cooks. Through the late 1990s and 2000s, Rhodes branched out with Gary Rhodes’ Sweet Dreams (1998), a dedicated desserts book, and practical titles like Keeping it Simple (2005) and Time To Eat (2007) aimed at weeknight cooking.
Rhodes was one of Britain’s most visible chefs through his television work, and his cookbooks reflected that public profile. Gary Rhodes 365 (2008), his final cookbook, offered a recipe for every day of the year. He passed away in 2019, but his books remain widely available and still popular with home cooks who value classic British recipes.
