The Cook Book: Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells - Katie Fisher

Spanning Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding villages, The Cook Book tells the stories of the region's best-loved chefs, restaurants and producers and includes their favourite recipes to inspire any foodie's cooking at home. It showcases how the region's culinary landscape has evolved through more than 30 chapters featuring a wide selection of local independent businesses, including some of the area's finest restaurants, gastro pubs, cafes, delis and producers. Lead by a foreword and recipe from none other than Michel Roux Jr, who grew up in Kent and is still passionate about the food and drink created in the Garden of England, the book also features top-end dining hotspots like The Beacon and The Warren, places that put local ingredients centre stage including Framptons caf bar and The Small Holding, irresistible sweet treats from patisserie caf Cocolicious, and eclectic food from modern bars and restaurants such as Vittle and Swig. The book has been put together to support and promote Tree of Hope, a Kent-based charity that enables families with seriously ill or disabled children to obtain specialist treatment, therapy and equipment through funding campaigns, transforming the lives of those children and their families.
