Have you ever wanted to eat like the Peaky Blinders? With this first official cookbook, you can now take a unique culinary journey into the world of the Shelby's.

Filled with 50 delicious and evocative recipes, the book takes inspiration from the iconic locations the infamous gang inhabits, from the bar at The Garrison, to the glamour of the Eden Club and the extravagance of Arrow House.

The recipes in this book transport you into the rich and murky world Tommy Shelby and his associates lived in, evoking the warm and hearty meals which would have kept the gang going day and night.

From filling family fare, to snacks, sandwiches and bar food, as well as lavish canapes, lunches and dinners, the book includes dishes such as: 

• Warming vegetable & barley soup with Alfie Solomons’ soda bread,
• Grilled Oysters with parmesan crumb,

• Sloe Gin jelly with blackberries and cream.

Combining stills from the series with recipes and specially commissioned photography, this is a lavishly illustrated cookbook for foodies and fans of Peaky Blinders alike.

I am fortunate to have become one of the UK's leading Food Stylists. I write and develop recipes for a number of clients and have been known to Present both live and pre-recorded cookery demonstrations.

I work with some of the biggest brands, such as McDonalds, Costa coffee, Marks and Spencer, Aldi, Domino’s, pizza hut, Kfc just to name a few. Both nationally and internationally, on TV commercials, advertising stills and development. I have also worked with some of the best known magazines and publications.

I qualified as a chef some 23 years ago, and having worked my way through the ranks of some of Manchester’s finest restaurants. I eventually opened my own restaurant which turned out to be a great success.

A new career direction evolved in 1998. The world of photographic food styling. The demand on my time became so great that I made a career decision to become a full-time Food Stylist and sold the restaurant. One of the best decisions I have ever made apart from marrying my wife.

In addition to Food Styling, I have also developed and have written recipes for a number of well known brands including……Tesco, Coop, Asda, Aldi, Lidl, John West, Napolina, Booths, Potato council, Mushroom Bureau and one day I hope to write a book or two, Given the opportunity!

I have a passion for food and a commitment that has taken me to to the to the top of this specialist field and loving every minute of it.

I have been developing my photography skills whilst on lockdown and have found a love for shooting food and not just styling. Rob Morris Food Photography will go live by the end of 2020!
