Cooking With Heroes celebrates the centenary of The Royal British Legion with 100 regional recipes from 100 parts of the world, each accompanied by a profile of a local military hero. Written by military personnel and veterans, it features recipes from high-profile Legion supporters including Ainsley Harriott, Jamie Oliver and the Hairy Bikers.
To celebrate the centenary of The Royal British Legion, some of the world's bestselling celebrity chefs - including Jamie Oliver, Ainsley Harriott, Cyrus Todiwala, Melissa Helmsley and the Hairy Bikers - have teamed up with acting or former members of the military to create this unique cookbook.
Researched, cooked and written by the Armed Forces and their high-profile supporters, this high-quality hardback book focuses on 100 regions in which The Royal British Legion has been active over the past century, including all corners of the British Isles, the Commonwealth and beyond. As well as profiles of 100 military heroes and heroines specific to each region, as nominated by The Royal British Legion, it features 100 delicious and authentic regional recipes that you'll want to try at home. The book includes a helpful table that allows readers to convert Metric measurements into Imperial and US Cup equivalents with ease.
The combination of incredible dishes and amazing military stories will keep you reading before and after dinner, while contributions from high-profile supporters of the Legion will add a dash of celebrity spice.
Established in 1921, The Royal British Legion is the UK's largest Armed Forces charity, sitting at the heart of a national network of partner organisations and more than 200,000 members. Best known for organising the annual Poppy Appeal and Remembrance Day services, the Legion works to ensure that current and ex-service personnel and their families can always access the support they need.
Delicious recipes…features mouthwatering creations by well-known names including singer Patti Boulaye as well as celebrity chefs Rick Stein, Jamie Oliver, Ainsley Herriot and the Hairy Bikers - Hello! magazine
About the Author: This is the third cookbook that Royal Air Force Squadron Leader Jon Pullen has put together, all of which have raised around £200,000 in total for military charities. In 2009 he teamed up with Help For Heroes to produce a charity cookbook that sold 25,000 copies nationwide. In 2017 he was behind the RAF100 Cookbook, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Royal Air Force. Continuing his history of encouraging the military to raise funds for the military, Jon has assembled a team of writers and chefs from across the services, including serving personnel, veterans, reserves, families and friends, along with Royal British Legion members, working together to raise funds for the Legion.
