Cookbook by award-winning cook, comedian and content creator George Egg, showing you how to make creative and inventive snacks by using what's in your store cupboard and modifying existing products.

WINNER OF 'CONTENT CREATOR OF THE YEAR' AT THE FORTNUM AND MASON FOOD AND DRINK AWARDS 2024

'The cookbook I've been waiting for my entire life' JAMES ACASTER

'One of the most exciting new cookbooks that's being released in 2025' OLIVE MAGAZINE

AS HEARD ON THE CRAIG CHARLES SHOW ON BBC 6MUSIC

A collection of over 90 rule-breaking recipes of unpretentious cooking for everyone from the well-seasoned cook to the kitchen-shy greedy-guts.

George Egg inhabits a place where the potentially frowned-up (processed cheese, crabsticks, salad cream) sits with the gourmet (date syrup, tahini, seaweed) and on occasion the deluxe (lumpfish caviar, liquorice root powder, Babybel). Discover hacks for fast food favourites alongside 'proper' recipes, using surprising combinations, unexpected ingredients and unconventional methods as George guides you from Deep-fried Pot Noodle to Chip Shop Tortilla, Microwave Shakshuka to Twiglet Brownies and Peshwari Toasties to Beer-battered Celebrations.

Served with a generous helping of culinary memories and heart-warming stories, The Snack Hacker is a joyful celebration of food and a reminder that it's sensible to play in the kitchen.
