‘My main goal is to show how achievable fantastic pub food can be to prepare – right in your own kitchen... the important thing is chillaxo relaxo, be inspired and feel good about whatever you prepare. Remember, proper food is the result of treating quality ingredients lovingly and with respect. They won't let you down!’

Tom Kerridge’s idea of food heaven isn’t fussy gastronomy; it’s hearty comfort food with Michelin star magic. In this cookbook Tom proves that everyone can make proper pub food, and the only place he wants to see a foam is on the head of a pint of beer! Over 100 recipes reveal his secrets for making real food truly amazing, including perfected dishes from his childhood and special treats he serves at his own one-of-a-kind pub, The Hand & Flowers. These recipes are simply the best version you’ll ever have of the dishes everyone loves the most.
