Non-fiction: Slow Cooker book simmers in the top spot

Nathan Anthony’s Bored of Lunch: The Healthy Slow Cooker Book (Ebury) notched up another week in the Official UK Top 50 number one spot, selling 20,069 copies last week. The cookbook saw a huge boost the previous week, when its recipes were featured in the Sun, and while its volume fell by more than 50% week on week, it was still above its pre-Sun weekly sale.

Bored of Lunch and Spare once again held the Hardback Non-fiction’s two top spots, as they have done since the second week of January. Dr Julie Smith’s Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? (Michael Joseph) bounced back into the top three, as baking blogger Eloise Head’s Fitwaffle’s Baked in One (Ebury) rose into fifth. 

James Clear’s Atomic Habits (Random House) spent a second week in the Paperback Non-fiction number one, joined by Dr Clare Bailey and Kathryn Bruton’s The Fast 800 Keto Recipe Book (Short) in second. Todd English’s The Air Fryer Cookbook (Robinson) rose to third, with Dr Thomas Halliday’s Otherlands (Penguin), the Waterstones Non-Fiction Book of the Month, charting in fourth.
