The Hand & Flowers Cookbook

Description

The long-awaited cookbook from Tom Kerridge's legendary two-Michelin-star pub. The Hand & Flowers is the first (and only) pub in the world to acquire two Michelin stars. At this relaxed and accessible dining space in the heart of Buckinghamshire, Tom Kerridge serves up innovative, sophisticated dishes that masterfully reinvent and elevate British classics for the twenty-first century. The incredible new cookbook presents 70 of the best dishes that have ever appeared on the menu, including Roast hog with salt-baked potatoes and apple sauce; Slow-cooked duck breast, peas, duck-fat chips and gravy; Smoked haddock omelette; Salt cod Scotch egg with red pepper sauce and picante chorizo; and Chocolate and ale cake with salted caramel and muscovado ice cream. With specially commissioned photography by renowned photographer Cristian Barnett, The Hand & Flowers Cookbook is a stunning celebration of one of the world's best and most authentic restaurants.

Tom Kerridge worked as a chef in restaurants across Britain before he and his wife Beth opened The Hand & Flowers in Marlow in 2005. Nine years and two Michelin stars later, he opened a second pub just down the road, The Coach, which was followed by The Butcher's Tap. Most recently, he and his core team have launched Kerridge's Bar & Grill, which is housed in Corinthia London, and The Bull & Bear in Manchester. Tom is a much-loved TV personality and a bestselling author of seven cookbooks. He lives in Marlow. @ChefTomKerridge / tomkerridge.com
