The Essex Cook Book

The Essex Cook Book celebrates the array of eateries that make the county such a culinary capital, showcasing recipes and stories from some of the region's finest local restaurants, delis, gastro pubs, cafes and local suppliers. This includes contributions from 2016 World Bread Award winners Mayfield Farm and Bakery, International Wine Challenge winners West Street Vinyard and the historic Greenstead Family Barns Cafe which is housed in a barn originally constructed in 1640. Then there are the likes of Great Garnetts, an independent family business famous for its Christmas turkeys, Michelin-starred restaurant The Anchor Riverside, run by head chef Daniel Watkins, and European Bistro The Sand Bar Seafood & Co. It also includes a foreword from two Michelin star holder Daniel Clifford, who's Flitch of Bacon restaurant is one of the most exciting new additions to the Essex eating scene.
