The book, published last August, features over 100 of the Michelin starred chef’s best dishes, including slow-roasted shoulder of lamb with Boulangere potatoes.
The chef also featured in a BBC Two series of the same name last year.
Kerridge also picked up the Chef of the Year award at the ceremony which took place at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park in London. He has also just been named GQ magazine's Chef of the Year.
Tom Kerridge’s Best Dishes – the chef’s new book - is out now with a television series of the same name set to air on BBC Two this October.
