Hawksmoor at Home

The Hawksmoor restaurants in Spitalfields and Seven Dials have been a sensation. Their menu focuses on all things beef - the finest steaks, burgers and roasts - with simply prepared seafood, distinctly British puddings and an award-winning cocktail list. Hawksmoor at Home is a lavish celebration of Hawksmoor's recipes and an insight into the enthusiasm and passion that go into creating great food and drink.

Hawksmoor at Home should be covered in fingerprints and splashes of food, as it's a great hands-on book to use every day

I love Hawksmoor. Whenever I feel the need for fabulous meat it's the place I go

Every now and then a cookbook comes out that makes you think: "I can't wait to get my hands on that."  The Hawksmoor cookbook is just such a one: beautifully designed and full of recipes ... An absolute must-have for anyone who loves a brilliant burger or a perfect rack of ribs

The only thing harder to find than a great piece of meat is a great book on meat. Hawksmoor at Home is most definitely the latter, best enjoyed with a bottle - several, actually - of good red wine

Hawksmoor at Home features some excellent essays on what makes a steak great in the first place, including breed (and livelihood) of cattle, as well as the science behind achieving that elusive perfect crust. Cocktails are Hawksmoor's other trump card, and some of the favourites are here, including the tobacco old fashioned and the 'turbo-shandy' known as Shaky Pete's ginger brew (I tried this at home, and it was delicious). And if you're tired of steak, then you'll also find recipes for the famous kimchi burger, cornflake ice cream and mac and cheese. As expected, this is a well-researched and authoritative take on steak.

A must read for any passionate meat eater

Drool worthy...not only is the writing so engaging you'll find the book hard to put down, you'll want to dive into Dan Lepard's photographs and take a bite into / take  a sip of the goodies on show

This sexy cook book is stunningly designed, with whimsical illustrations and historical texts all interspersed with good enough to eat photos ... Classy cocktails, big brekkies and tasty bits on the side complete this beauty of a book

This weighty tome is a brilliant resource filled not only with recipes from the Hawksmoor kitchen but also cocktail recipes from the acclaimed bar.  With vintage illustrations, diagrams, references and excellent food photography from Dan Lepard to add colour, it's a very attractive book indeed.  The tone is authoritative but never stern; expect dry wit mixed with a relaxed colloquialism

Hearty, carnivore-friendly book from one of London's leading steakhouses

Hawksmoor is a restaurant group whose steaks are consistently voted the best in London. This book reveals how to rustle up the menu, from the restaurant's own burger to battered oyster rolls and marmalade pudding. There's also the Hawksmoor breakfast, with bacon chops and trotter baked beans, and some killer cocktails, plus info on  buying beef and a guide to favourite cuts

Satisfyingly meaty cookbook by the sacred cow specialists

If you can't book a table at London's most fashionable steakhouse, get the new book, Hawksmoor At Home, and your girlfriends will give you Michelin stars

Each gorgeous-looking recipe has a mini intro, offering a great insight into how the dish ended up on the menu

Hawksmoor at home is an even more full-blooded affair from the boys behind ever chef's favourite steakhouse

Tony Turnball, The Times, Book of the Year

If you like Hawksmoor, you will like this book. It retains the heart of the restaurant, something which sometimes fails to survive the transition to printed page. It is one of my favourite book releases of this year

certainly packed a lot into this...Here they expand beyond their signature meats, with breakfasts, cheese, puddings, seafood and cocktails all well covered.  They try to educate with each chapter too, going far beyond your average cookbook.  A brilliant debut

Hawsmoor at Home should be covered in fingerprints and splashes of food, as it's a great hands-on book to use every day.' HESTON BLUMENTHAL 
 
'When we started out we had a simple plan - to open the best steak restaurant in London. We travelled the world searching for the perfect steak, but discovered that beef from traditional breeds, reared the old-fashioned way right here in Britain, and cooked simply over real charcoal, packed more flavour than anything we tried on our travels.' 
 
The critics have hailed Hawksmoor as one of the great restaurant openings of recent years. Their credo is simple: the best ingredients - dictionary-thick steaks from Longhorn cattle traditionally reared in North Yorkshire by multi-award-winners The Ginger Pig, dry-aged for at least thirty-five days, simply cooked on a real charcoal grill. Their cocktails, wines and desserts too have been applauded to the echo. 
 
Hawksmoor at Home is a practical cookbook which shows you how to buy and cook great steak and seafood and indeed much else (including how to cook both the 'best burger in Britain' and the 'best roast beef in Britain'); how to mix terrific cocktails and choose wine to accompany your meal. Above all Hawksmoor at Home entertains and informs in the inimitable 'Hawksmoor' way.

An unputdownable tome of witty prose, teaming helpful how-tos (e.g. ‘dispatching’ a lobster humanely), and mouthwatering recipes … A delightfully entertaining read, one that’ll have you smiling and salivating in equal measures, reaching for the phone to make a reservation, and quite possibly perusing their recruitment page for openings … this, for its originality, entertainment factor and promise of deliciousness, is hands down my favourite.

There aren't enough superlatives to describe the Hawksmoor Spitalfields Bar. Unrivalled bar food, exemplary cocktails and charming bartenders.

Incredible steaks...a culinary love song to beef

If a city gets the restaurant it deserves then London has clearly been a very good girl of late.

The bar would keep any cocktail fan in bliss for hours.

There aren’t many steakhouse that you’d visit purely for its drinks list, but Hawksmoor does booze as impressively as beef.

There's nowhere else that combines food of this freshness and quality with drinks of this calibre. For a pleasant, fun night out that won't break the bank it's hard to think of anywhere preferable.

Hawksmoor’s three restaurants are already well known for their amazing steak, but they’re about to find fame for great cocktails, too.

Flawless, the best steak you will find anywhere.

I love Hawksmoor. Whenever I feel the need for fabulous meat it's the place I go.

A great read for anyone interested in the running of a restaurant group, with insights into the people, ingredients, and attention to detail that make it so successful

“An essential read for anyone interested in the realities of restaurants … [a] beautiful hardback

A gloriously honest book that tells of the evolution of the Hawksmoor steakhouse… Wonderful

The ultimate bible for booze-and-beefy perfection

'Hawksmoor has redefined the steakhouse. It's brought great food, an amazing vibe and great cocktails together all under one roof to make it one of the best restaurants, not just in London, but in all of Britain.' Gordon Ramsay 
 
'Reassuringly special'

____________________________________________________________________ 
From inauspicious beginnings, Hawksmoor has become a restaurant institution. Both the company and the restaurants have won numerous awards, and the distinctly British food, revolving around charcoal-grilled steaks and seafood, has made Hawksmoor amongst the busiest restaurants in the country. 
 
Now with seven restaurants, including a dedicated cocktail bar, Hawksmoor brings you Restaurants & Recipes, an essential read for anyone interested in the realities of restaurants, revealing the trials and tribulations faced along the way, as well as the people, places and plates that have made it so successful. 
 
From refined, tweaked and perfected Hawksmoor favourites like Mac 'n' Cheese to the Steak Slice that caused a social media storm, and from a light and elegant Lobster Slaw to big carnivorous sharing feasts, this book will make you look at the classics anew and fall in love with a whole new collection of dishes for the first time. 
 
Bringing together recipes from all the Hawksmoor restaurants, and with insights like how to cook the titans of steaks like the Tomahawk, and the intricate cocktail spec sheets used by the bar staff, Hawksmoor: Restaurants & Recipes is the ultimate bible for booze and beefy perfection - an immaculately researched, sometimes irreverent look into Hawksmoor's obsessions and inspirations.
