BRICK LANE COOKBOOK (KITCHEN PRESS)

Brick Lane is famous for many things: for being home to the biggest Bangladeshi community in the UK, for its curry houses and Bengali sweet shops, for its graffti, its long-running market and its beigel shops. Now, its also increasingly well known for its thriving art and fashion scene and the incredible street food. Dina Begum's first book celebrates the diverse food cultures of Brick Lane: from the homestyle curries she grew up eating to her luscious and indulgent bakes inspired by the many cafes, from Chinese-style burgers to classic Buffalo wings, from smoothie bowls to raw coffee brownies. With fabulous colour photography throughout and contributions from street food traders and restaurants it captures London at its multifaceted, chaotic, crazy best.
