Synopsis

There are many ways to cook a burger, to mix a drink, to serve some fries. Yianni Papoutsis and Scott Collins, the men behind MEATEASY, MEATliquor and MEATmission, share their unique experiences on the wildest frontiers of culinary culture in this, The MEATliquor Chronicles: Chapter and Verse. From New Cross to Marylebone, Hoxton Market to Brighton, Yianni and Scott have blazed a demonic trail through the best restaurants in London, Brighton and most recently Leeds over the past four years, bringing crowds of the converted in their wake. Starting out with the Burning Man festival and the adventures had in the original MEATwagon, back in 2009, The MEATliquor Chronicles lays disrespectful waste to the accepted notion of what a cookbook associated with a famous restaurant can and might be. Yes, you will learn how to make perfect homemade burgers and a wealth of other dishes, and yes, you will find cocktail recipes galore. But this is a book too with a story and a mission. Yianni and Scott have welcomed Booker Prize-winning author DBC Pierre in-house to help reconstruct their intoxicating and intoxicated journey from South London reprobates to gastronomic enfants terribles.Lavishly illustrated and designed, and with contributions from a host of bleeding-edge chefs, The MEATliquor Chronicles is the Unholy Cow of all cookery books, and a manifesto of true pleasure.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Bull-free recipes, from the Backyard Burger to Turbo Prawn Cocktail? Yes.

Sobriety-baiting cocktails, like the New Cross Negroni and Corpse Reviver No. 69? Check.

Guest recipes from a host of like-minded chefs and restaurants, including Bone Daddies and Gizzi Erskine? Indeed.

Tales of drunkenness, excess and abject humiliation at the hands of megaphone-touting barmaids in bikini tops? Got it.

Disquisitions on subjects as diverse as the etiquette of queuing and the benefits of beer cans over bottles, especially for dolphins? Naturally.

A running treatise on aesthetics by Man Booker Prize-winning author DBC Pierre allied to the history of MEATliquor, from Peckham car park to Britain's best meat and liquor restaurants? But of course!

A total and absolute disregard for the conventions of cookery-book writing? Do you really need to ask?
