The report also discovered which chefs had written the most books in each category.

Withing vegan/veggie, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall topped the list with four books, followed by Delia Smith and Ella Mills (aka Deliciously Ella) who have written two of the top 14 books each.

“The UK is a nation united by hearty home-cooked meals,” GoCompare concluded from the study.
