The MEATliquor Chronicles: Chapter and Verse

Bull-free recipes, from the Backyard Burger to Turbo Prawn Cocktail? Yes.Sobriety-baiting cocktails, like the New Cross Negroni and Corpse Reviver No. 69? Check.Guest recipes from a host of like-minded chefs and restaurants, including Bone Daddies and Gizzi Erskine? Indeed.Tales of drunkenness, excess and abject humiliation at the hands of megaphone-touting barmaids in bikini tops? Got it.Disquisitions on subjects as diverse as the etiquette of queuing and the benefits of beer cans over bottles, especially for dolphins? Naturally.A running treatise on aesthetics by Man Booker Prize-winning author DBC Pierre allied to the history of MEATliquor, from Peckham car park to Britain's best meat and liquor restaurants? But of course!A total and absolute disregard for the conventions of cookery-book writing? Do you really need to ask?
