Christmas COOK BOOK
Here at COOK, one of our core values is called ‘Churchill’s Pig’. According to Sir Winston: a cat looks down on you; a dog looks up to you; but a pig looks you in the eye and sees its equal. This is how we try to talk to each other and to you, our customers. So, time for a bit of “pork talk” regarding the festive season. I have always found Christmas a difficult time. In our business, December tends to be hugely busy and stressful and, in the past, the arrival of the 25th has found me craving nothing more than sleep. Things are different now I have three wonderful children who adore every moment, but I remain conscious that December can be extremely hard work if you are the designated Christmas fairy in your household. For you, in particular, I hope we can provide a helping hand in the kitchen this year to give you a bit more time to enjoy yourself. Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

Brussels Sprouts with<br />
Chestnuts, Sage & Red Onion<br />
V (2) 2.25 (4) 4.50<br />
So it turns out that scoring a cross<br />
in the bottom of Brussels sprouts<br />
does absolutely nothing to help them<br />
cook! Reeling from that bombshell,<br />
we’re delighted not to be peeling or<br />
scoring any Brussels this year. Instead,<br />
we’ll be tucking into our very own<br />
roughly chopped sprouts cooked with<br />
chestnuts, sage and red onion. They’re<br />
a lovely, vibrant green, with just enough<br />
bite and a delicate flavour that might<br />
even convert the odd, lifelong<br />
sprout-o-phobe...<br />
NEW<br />

with Taleggio and Gruyére<br />
Cheese (1) 1.75 (2) 2.95 (4) 5.75<br />

Honey-glazed Heritage<br />
Carrots with Thyme V<br />
(4) 4.95<br />
Apparently, carrots weren’t orange<br />
until the 16th century. For 4,000 years<br />
previously we’d been perfectly happy<br />
with various other colours. This special<br />
mix of purple, yellow and orange<br />
varieties, glazed with honey and thyme,<br />
looks and tastes amazing.<br />
