Book description
'Outrageously Good' - Kate Nash
This is the innovative, fun and utterly delicious cookbook from
London's premier supperclub.
For a fixed price and a bottle of wine, people all over the world are
sitting down in the homes of strangers to enjoy a lovingly prepared,
restaurant-quality dinner. From New York to London to Cuba, these supper
clubs and pop-up restaurants offer an alternative experience for those
looking for a new, fun and exciting dining experience. You won't find
these restaurants in any city guide - they are strictly for those
in-the-know, if you're lucky enough to get a much coveted reservation.
Supper Club is homage to the secret restaurant phenomenon. In this
wildly creative and wonderfully eccentric cookbook by Kerstin Rodgers,
owner of London's famous Underground Restaurant, you'll find Kerstin's
inventive and delicious recipes and themed menus, peppered with her
helpful hints, tips and wild experiences. You'll also be treated to
Kerstin's down-to-earth advice on how to run your own home restaurant,
and a directory of other supper clubs of note around the world (just
don't tell anyone). In few other cookbooks will you find recipes such as
elderflower fritters alongside home favourites such as Macaroni and cheese.
Supper Club will appeal to home chefs and budding underground
restaurateurs alike, and is a must-have for anyone who wants to
experience the cutting edge of eating in.
