Real Life Recipes

‘I’ve always admired the down to earth charm of Tom Kerridge and the way he suffuses his kitchen know-how into tips to use at home. In his latest book, you’ll find ideas to take you from Monday lunch to Sunday suppers with creativity and ingenuity’ * Good Housekeeping *

Tom Kerridge worked as a chef in restaurants across Britain before deciding to set out on his own and take over a rundown pub in the quiet Buckinghamshire town of Marlow. He opened The Hand & Flowers with his wife Beth in 2005, and it went on to become the first (and only) pub in the world to acquire two Michelin stars. In 2014 he opened a second pub in Marlow, The Coach, which was followed by The Butcher’s Tap. More recently, he launched Kerridge’s Bar & Grill in London and The Bull and Bear in Manchester. His previous books include the bestselling Proper Pub Food, Tom Kerridge’s Best Ever Dishes, Tom’s Table, Tom Kerridge’s Dopamine Diet, Lose Weight for Good and Tom Kerridge’s Fresh Start and his most recent bestseller Outdoor Cooking. In 2021 Tom launched the game-changing Full Time Meals campaign with Marcus Rashford and in 2022 he will be a judge on Great British Menu.
