Cumbrian chef Peter Sidwell will launch his new cookery book at Cockermouth’s Taste Cumbria festival later this month.
Peter will also be demonstrating some of the recipes at the event and will also host a free Q&A where aspiring cooks can get some inspiration, and put his skills to the test.
Peter has been in the food and drink business for 30 years, and has appeared on shows including Channel 4’s Lakes on a Plate and Amazon Prime Video’s Taste of the Lakes, as well as at live events such as the BBC Good Food Show.
He now has a weekly YouTube cookery show, Peter Sidwell’s Kitchen, with 150,000 followers, and the book, which shares the same name, accompanies this. Each of the featured recipes has a QR code so they have a seat in his kitchen studio. They can even enjoy a complementary video masterclass where they can cook alongside Peter and watch his recipes come to life.
Pete said: “My style is all about ingredient-led cooking meaning I often start with an ingredient that I want to cook or that’s at its best. Crafted with modern cooks in mind, Peter Sidwell’s Kitchen is more than just a cookbook – it’s an interactive learning experience.
“I can’t wait to launch it at Taste Cumbria. I’ve been involved with the festival since year one and it’s the perfect showcase for the amazing ingredients our county has to offer. Whack on your apron and get cooking!”
The Taste Cumbria festivals are organised by Cumberland Council.
Peter’s launch demo takes place on Saturday September 28 at 1.30pm, followed by the Q&A, with a second demonstration on Sunday September 29 at 12.30pm.
Visitors will be able to buy copies of the book and have them signed at both events.
