respected food and drink writers. Beyond Baked Beans, is
firmly geared towards revolutionising the way that students eat. Dispensing
with patronising assumptions and cartoon-style design, this is a book

name, not just 'grub'. Every angle is covered, from simple meals-for-one
to communal kitchen banquets. A must-have cookery book for the post-Jamie
generation in search of great food and fun times around the table.
Fiona Beckett is an award-winning food
and drink journalist who has written for The Guardian, The

was voted Food Writer of the Year by the Guild of Food Writers. She
is the author of a number of books, including Beyond
Baked Beans Green, and Sausage &
Mash.

not me'
