Hawksmoor at Home: Meat - Seafood - Sides - Breakfasts - Puddings - Cocktails Hardcover – November 1, 2012

I visited the restaurant in London (the Seven Dials one) in October 2015. The menu listed several "anti fogmatics" as a list of drinks to imbibe. I saw that the Bloody Mary No. 8 was on the menu, so I ordered this cocktail. I was blown away with the taste of it, particularly since it used gin instead of vodka. After a fruitless search for the recipe on the internet, I was so happy to find the recipe for it in this cookbook! There are many wonderful recipes for various classic British dishes, which I have yet to recreate at home in the United States. (I even ordered a second one as a gift for my sister's birthday which occurs later this year! Shhhh!)

Superbly illustrated, great recipes simply explained and a very readable book in it's own right.A word of warning though. This wonderful book arrived early one Friday morning. I had an hour or so to browse through it and I was so impressed I took it to my local pub to share with a few friends. One friend in particular was unable to put it down. Literally. So I've had to buy another one. The good news is we've been invited round for a 'Hawksmoor' dinner.If you like your food simple and superbly cooked with recipes that don't go easy on 'naughty' ingredients I strongly recommend this book. It's fun, with interesting background pieces and would make a great gift for any steak or fish lover.

I ate at Hawskmoor Seven Dials just after I got engaged in London on New Years Eve and it was honestly one of the top ten meals of my life. Everything was delicious, cocktails included. I knew I had to buy the cookbook as soon as I got home! All measurements are metric, just an FYI for my fellow Americans, but this isn't a problem if you have experience with European baking/cooking and own a digital scale.Highly recommended!

If you love beef this book is for you. A well laid out cookbook filled with tips and bits of history. If you have ever been to a Hawksmoor restaurant you will agree that this book is the written equivalent of a fine steakhouse.

If you love food, you'll love this book...because it has been written by people who love food.I was lucky enough to live 3 mins away from the original restaurant and it was one of our favourite places in London. This book and the recipes in it bring some of that joy home

GIven Hawksmoor is one of my favorite restaurants in London, this is a great read. The book is more a history of meat, but has some awesome recipes along the way!

Always hard buying a book with out looking through and with so many point of views - reviews it doesn't make it much easier, I take the gamble with a lot of my books and this is a great book also.

Excellent cookbook! It also had a lovely marmalade recipe... ive already made two batches which were polished off quick as a flash by the wife and mother in law!

I love this book. It has so many interesting facts, both historical and recent, and is also a great read along with the beautiful receipes.I recommend this book.

昔ロンドンに行ったときに、このレストランで食べた。たしか、映画「ステーキ・レボリューション」でも取り上げられた店のひとつだ。店員がお薦めしてきたリブ・アイをミディアムレアで頂いたのだが、かなり美味しかった。そのレストランの料理本ということで、ついつい買ってしまった。肉の部位についての解説、旨いステーキの焼き方、牛以外の肉料理、サイドディッシュの作り方など、いろんな料理方法を学ぶことができる。まぁ最低でも４センチ厚の肉を買え、とか日本で真似するなら肉代だけで結構な値段になりそうだけど、旨く焼けるならば肉は自分で焼くのが一番安く旨くできる。今までは「美味しんぼ」の初期にでてきた小伝馬町のステーキ老人のやりかたを参考にしていたが、これからはHawksMoorを真似てみます。

I love this restaurant. I go every time I can when I am in London. Well try the restaurant and buy that book!

I'm fortunate enough to have eaten at a Hawksmoor restaurant and if you think that it's only a steakhouse chain, you're very much mistaken. It has become a London institution, synonymous with serving hearty fare in a relaxed environment. As soon as I saw this book, I had to buy it. If it was to come anywhere near to emulating my dining experience in the restaurant, I knew I would be in for a treat.The book begins with the story behind the iconic Hawksmoor Restaurants. It then goes on to cover all apsects behind the meat: breeds, selection, slaughter, ageing, cuts and cooking. Anyone who eats meat of any kind, should read this section, in my opinion. There is a surprisingly wide selection of recipes, ranging from basic steak in butter to braised short rib of beef. This is proper hearty food, not the sort that you would eat every day by any means, but the book exudes a certain attention to detail on simple, classic flavours. It's not just beef either, there is a healthy section on seafood, as well as side dishes, breakfasts and desserts. Not to mention a chapter on cocktails and even which wines to serve with food (in particular a chart that recommends different wines for different cuts of steak). It's also wonderfully written and beautifully illustrated.I really can't wait to try out the recipes. Ones that stand out for me are the real basics; there are recipes for homemade ketchup, dripping cooked chips, pickled cabbage and even burger buns. Any true food lovers will love this; it is so much more than just a cookbook.
