A word from the chefs:

'It's been very inspiring cooking other people's food and discovering the powerful stories behind each dish. I'd say the message of The People's Cookbook is to source good ingredients and spend time preparing them, fine tuning favourite dishes until they're just right.'
Paul Rankin

'The number of different cultures featured in the series has been really surprising and working on this project has been illuminating. Food enables people to hang onto their cultural roots and keeps family heritage going. Although this is important everywhere, it has even more of a role in immigrant communities.'
Antony Worrall Thompson

Welcome to The People’s Cookbook

The People's Cookbook showcases the top 100 recipes, voted by the viewers, from the first two series of the hugely popular UKTV Food show. Alongside the winning recipes from each episode you'll also find a few extra special dishes that our chefs loved so much they couldn't bear to leave out. Featuring recipes from across the UK, with roots as far-flung and exotic as the Caribbean and India, The People's Cookbook provides a snapshot of modern-day British food culture, and celebrates its family traditions and cultural diversity. Each recipe has its own fascinating story, along with comments from Antony and Paul on what they personally love about each idea. Separated into starters, main courses and desserts, you will find a dish for every occasion and every palate, whether you prefer traditional, modern, exotic or downright crazy-sounding fare!
