The Snack Hacker: Rule-Breaking Recipes for Cooks and Non-Cooks
*THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*
*SHORTLISTED FOR BRITISH BOOK DESIGN & PRODUCTION AWARDS 2025*
'The Snack Hacker approach is about maximising flavour, banishing blandness and eliminating the closely guarded boundary between high and low taste ' NIGELLA LAWSON
'The cookbook I've been waiting for my entire life' JAMES ACASTER
AS HEARD ON THE CRAIG CHARLES SHOW ON BBC 6MUSIC, AND SEEN ON SUNDAY BRUNCH (Channel 4) AND SATURDAY KITCHEN (BBC1)
A collection of over 90 rule-breaking recipes of unpretentious cooking for everyone from the well-seasoned cook to the kitchen-shy greedy-guts.
George Egg inhabits a place where the potentially frowned-up (processed cheese, crabsticks, salad cream) sits with the gourmet (date syrup, tahini, seaweed) and on occasion the deluxe (lumpfish caviar, liquorice root powder, Babybel). Discover hacks for fast food favourites alongside 'proper' recipes, using surprising combinations, unexpected ingredients and unconventional methods as George guides you from Deep-fried Pot Noodle to Chip Shop Tortilla, Microwave Shakshuka to Twiglet Brownies and Peshwari Toasties to Beer-battered Celebrations.
Served with a generous helping of culinary memories and heart-warming stories, The Snack Hacker is a joyful celebration of food and a reminder that it's sensible to play in the kitchen.
