Pitt Cue Co. - The Cookbook

In summer 2011, Pitt Cue Co. was the talking point of London's Southbank. For three months, their trailer dished out hot, Southern US-style, slow-cooked food and instantly became a must-try experience. In January 2012, the trailer was joined by a destination restaurant in Soho, and since then there have been queues around the block.Simon Anderson, Tom Adams, Jamie Berger and Richard H. Turner brought together their experience from Hawksmoor, The Albion, The Blueprint Café and Brunswick House to create a fabulously finger-licking, bourbon-drinking paradise that's taken the London restaurant scene by storm.April Bloomfield - who wrote the foreword - has spent most of her life in the kitchen. Her NYC restaurants The Spotted Pig and The Breslin Bar & Dining Room have each been awarded a Michelin star, and her latest - The John Dory Oyster Bar - has received rave reviews. April's first book, A Girl and Her Pig, was published in 2012.

This is an urban British hipster's take on a solid bit of Americana, tucked away on a tidy London street. But it's executed with commitment, wit and serious attention to detail. And a lot of pig.
