SECOND HELPINGS!
Following the success of the Lancashire Cook Book, Second Helpings has arrived to satisfy those still hungry for more
The Lancashire Cook Book Second Helpings revisits some of the finest local restaurants, gastropubs, cafes and markets which featured in the first edition of this series and has been expanded to include a host of new additions.
Bertram’s Restaurant is one of many returning contributors and this time serves up a delicious sweet treat in the form of a blackcurrant tart with brown sugar meringue.
As Spencer Burge from Bertram’s says: “You can actually taste the talent in this fantastic new Lancashire cook book. It is a privilege for us to be involved in such a unique publication that allows people at home to cook some great dishes, or it can help them to decide where to visit and have it cooked for them. Win win!”
The likes of the Freemasons at Wiswell, Choc Amor, FINO Tapas, Port of Lancaster Smokehouse and Holmes Mill are just a few of the new contributors ready to share their delicious recipes.
Chef owner of the Freemasons at Wiswell, Steven Smith, wrote the foreword for the book and contributed an exclusive recipe of duck breast with lavender, fennel and peach.
He says: “We’re lucky to have some of the best venues and producers in the country and the Lancashire Cook Book Second Helpings will showcase our wonderful county and all it has to offer. We’re very proud of our county and it’s great to be able to show it off!”
This excitement is echoed by the team at Holmes Mill, who say: “In Lancashire we are blessed with a bountiful larder of amazing produce. Hopefully this cook book will encourage people to search out local food and discover new favourites.”
The Lancashire Cook Book Second Helpings is the latest addition to Meze Publishing’s Get Stuck In series of regional cook books and shines a light on the exciting culinary landscape of Lancashire.
From We Don’t Give a Fork’s lamb burger with tzatziki, to Sunflower Kitchen’s Goosnargh gin and tonic cheesecake, the recipes offered in this book are as diverse and spectacular as the region itself.
For anyone in need of some liquid refreshment, Second Helpings also offers a host of drink recipes to help quench your thirst. From Exchange Coffee Company’s amazing espresso-style coffee to Batch Gin and Mr Fitzpatrick’s must-try cocktail collaboration, there truly is something for everyone!
The Lancashire Cook Book Second Helpings retails at £14.95 and is available to purchase from all of the contributors in the book. It is also available from smaller independent shops, as well as national book chains Waterstones, WHSmith and online from Amazon
