​​A Taste of Home, Wherever You Are
Inside this book you’ll find the dishes many of us grew up with, from Sunday dinners and bakery favourites to the kind of sandwich fillers that once lived in every British fridge. The creamy chicken mixes, the peppery egg fillings and the coronation blends we all grabbed from the supermarket chiller on the way home, now made fresh in your own kitchen.
Each recipe is written with clear steps and simple ingredients, so you can recreate those familiar tastes wherever you are in the world.
The stories woven through the pages bring a touch of home as well. Little moments from childhood kitchens, memories of family gatherings and the small comforts that stay with us long after we leave. It’s a book to use often, to keep open on the counter and to pass on when the time comes.
Settle in and enjoy cooking the flavours that shaped us.

Pork Pies & The Perfect Pickle is a cookbook for anyone who has ever stood in a supermarket far from home and thought, this isn’t quite right.
​Inside you’ll find:
  • British classics made to work with everyday ingredients
  • Pies, puddings, roasts, cakes and pantry staples
  • Simple explanations for why things work as well as how
This is a book to be used in a real kitchen, bookmarked, splashed and loved, not just admired on a shelf.
