The Saturday Kitchen Cookbook

Saturday Kitchen has become the mainstay of Saturday mornings on BBC ONE with its popular blend of James Martin’s quick and easy recipes, celebrity chat and fantastic recipes from an impressive cast of guest chefs.

The Saturday Kitchen Cookbook brings together all these elements. It is a must for anyone who has been inspired to get into the kitchen whilst watching the show and a perfect collection of recipes from a star roll call of chefs.

From Antonio Carluccio’s Stuffed lamb cutlets to Angela Hartnett’s Rib eye steaks with tomatoes and olives, or Gennaro Contaldo’s Fusilli with walnuts, The Saturday Kitchen Cookbook is a one-stop collection of recipes from many of your favourite chefs. James Martin’s Quick Recipes are interspersed throughout the book – including Duck rillettes, Steak burger with taleggio cheese, Lemon syllabub and Mixed-berry gratin with basil sabayon. Each recipe is also rounded off by a recommendation by a leading wine expert of the perfect wine to complement the dish.

One of the show’s most popular features - Heaven and Hell - sees the guest celebrities nominate their favourite and least favourite foods and face the public vote, before James concocts a fantastic recipe to cement or sway their opinion. You can be inspired by the likes and dislikes of your favourite celebrities – from Rupert Everett, to Mylene Klass and Duncan James. Recipes including Deep-fried mozzarella with tomato and rocket sauce, Skate wings with caper beurre noisette and olive oil mash or Pineapple tarte tatin with black pepper and rum caramel are bound to win favour every time with readers of this wide-ranging, varied and inspiring new cookbook.

Saturday Kitchen is presented by James Martin and airs at 10am on Saturdays on BBC ONE.

The Saturday Kitchen Cookbook is published by BBC Books, 5 July 2007, £14.99.
