An entertaining title: The Official Peaky Blinders Cookbook

50 Recipes selected by The Shelby Company Ltd

by Rob Morris

This title will be enjoyed by Peaky Blinders fans, those interested in food history and those who enjoy cooking.

Peaky Blinders (watch the series to find out what the title means) has enjoyed six successful TV seasons. Now there is this cookbook to enjoy. It is divided into places that feature in the show including Watery Lane, the Bar of the Garrison, The Derby, The Eden Club and the Arrow House. These chapters follow the increasing fortunes of the main character. Each recipe includes a short introduction that places it within the context of the show and/or history.

Some of the recipes include Warming Vegetable and Barley Soup with Alfie Solomons’ Soda Bread; one that I would like to eat is the Steak and Ale Pie with Mash, talk about comfort food. Just a couple more… the English Summer Salad looks gorgeous or how about Old Fashioned Fish Pie or Gentleman’s Pudding with Raspberry Sauce and Custard?

There are many photos in here. Some are of the food while others feature scenes or characters from the show. The food photos are most enticing! All in all, I enjoyed this one.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.
