Anna Hedworth

Have you ever dreamed of quitting your 9-5, starting a little business of your own and spending your days growing gorgeous vegetables and cooking delicious food to make people smile and warm their hearts? This is exactly what Anna Hedworth did three years ago creating Cook House: an award-winning restaurant built out of two shipping containers and a stunning collection of recipes.

In this book, self-taught chef and proprietor Anna tells the unique story of how she plucked up the courage to leave her desk job in architecture and create a new career for herself; running a tiny restaurant, menu planning, greeting customers, growing her own produce, foraging and cooking every day. Cook House is a book filled with more than 100 delicious recipes as well as an inspiration for the millions of others who dream of jumping ship.

Cook House has featured on Channel 4's 'Hidden Restaurants' series with Michel Roux Junior (watched by 1.37 million people) and The Radio 4 Food Programme, as well as The Good Food Guide for 2018 and it was named as one of the 25 Best New Entries in 2017. The restaurant also won an Observer Food Monthly Award for Best Cheap Eats in the North 2017. It was named as as one of the 25 coolest restaurants in The Times in 2016, and one of the 5 best restaurants of 2015 by Olive Magazine.
