A piquant collection of 40 recipes, from the bestselling author who has ingeniously challenged our thinking regarding the limitations of some of our best-loved storecupbaord icons. He has found a world that goes way beyond the mere spreading onto toast, or squeezing into sandwiches – for Marmite, Colman’s Mustard, Heinz Tomato Ketchup, Lyle’s Golden Syrup… and Worcestershire Sauce. So here are recipes we all want to cook, created in surprisingly easy and tasty new ways. The book is beautifully packaged with fun fillings of history and lore and stunning archive imagery from almost 175 years of the nation’s favourite Worcestershire sauce.
