Big Green Egg Feasts
Tim Hayward is now a local chef and food writer. Tim took over Fitzbillies in Cambridge a few years back after it had burned down and gone bankrupt. Stephen Fry ran a campaign to get it reopened and Tim Hayward stepped forward. Fitzbillies is a great restaurant, but it’s also famous for the Chelsea Buns.
On to this book, Big Green Egg Feasts. It has some great ideas that will inspire, but doing the whole feasts suggested is probably a step too far for most home cooks. Big Green Egg like to do cookbooks that look amazing, but often at the expense of giving you recipes you’d cook. This is another example.
One of the defining characteristics of the Big Green Egg is its tendency to form a physical centre to a social gathering. Just setting it up puts you halfway to a feast. Our fantastic new cookbook, created by the award-winning writer Tim Hayward, finishes the job. Thanks to Tim’s extensive knowledge and restless creativity, Big Green Egg Feasts is packed with expansive, inventive multi-dish meals inspired by feasting cultures from around the world, all of which encourage the very best sort of communal eating.
As well as emphasising its social function, these feasts take advantage of the unique versatility of the EGG: its ability to accommodate multiple cooking modes, including several at once. Designed for groups of all sizes, these brilliant recipes – beautifully photographed by Sam Folan – will help you master numerous cooking techniques and significantly extend your alfresco repertoire.
