ABOUT :

Thomas Straker is at the forefront of a new generation of chefs breaking down the barriers between professionals and home cooks-and he knows exactly the food they all want to eat. A classically trained chef and owner of Straker's restaurant, he's grown a millions-strong following for his flavor-led, seasonal dishes prepared with style and panache. Now, in his debut book, Straker places his culinary chops on the table in front of his legions of hungry fans, featuring refined, ambitious, delicious recipes like Fresh Gnocchi with Broad Beans and Pesto, Mozzarella di Buffala with Confit Fennel and Chili, Bone Marrow Butter, Chocolate Mousse with Caramel and Hazelnuts, and so much more. No matter your knife skills, this is Food You Want to Eat.

ABOUT :

Thomas Straker is a British chef, restaurateur and social media phenomenon.

Thomas discovered his love of food early in his life, growing up in Herefordshire on his family's smallholding, being heavily influenced by his mother's approach to growing food.

Realising his passion when he attended Ballymaloe Cookery school in 2009, he worked his way through some of London's top restaurants for the next 12 years, by which time he felt he had found his style of super-seasonal British cuisine with an Italian influence.

This simple approach to food and love of hospitality is what sprung his debut restaurant STRAKER'S into one of the most sought-after tables in London. This is also backed up with his large social following, food created always with the same ethos. One of the things that made Thomas's profile so dominant was his love of butter, creating one of the most viral food trends in 2022 on TikTok.
