The Brother Hubbard Cookbook

Discover a new way of eating with Brother Hubbard’s fresh, pure flavours dedicated to sharing and happiness.

Leaning towards aspects of Middle Eastern and Southern Mediterranean food, The Brother Hubbard Cookbook is packed with nutritious, wholesome, often deceptively vegetarian dishes that emphasise flavour, colour and texture.

Inside you will find favourite foods from the much-loved Brother Hubbard restaurant, the food they are asked about time and again. Dishes like Turkish Eggs Menemen, Moroccan Harira Soup, Middle Eastern Slaw and Harissa Baked Aubergine with Saffron Yogurt, Roasted Cashews and Apricots will bring a simple, exciting, creative new influence to your kitchen.

The book also tells the Brother Hubbard story, and their wonderful journey towards realising their own dream: adventures and happiness through cooking! Written in a style that will inspire even the most reluctant cook to have fun and to create a dish of which they can be proud, this is food that demands to be shared, that will make you feel better – in both its preparation and its enjoyment.
