The second instalment of the project started back in 2012 is here!
The recipe book for Cooking With The Phoenix is now out and available to buy.
The book took some putting together! We had to get the whole team to tell us two things that they like eat. It could have been something their mum made, they make themselves or something that they always order when eating out.
The only problem we had was that quite a few of the team liked steak, and they liked to eat steak with some form of sweet potato, so a number of steak suggestions dropped into my inbox. Obviously we told them they had to pick something else otherwise it would turn out to be a book about how to cook steak in many different ways.
As well as researching the recipes that the team had sent in, I photographed finished meals and individual ingredients. This was a new challenge, I'd never really photographed food before and I was having to think about how to light it to make it more interesting.
The most challenging food to photograph was chocolate pudding with thick chocolate sauce. I had to try and light it so that the sauce didn't look fake or have too many hot spots. I managed to do it, just! The results of which can be seen in book.
The recipe book is packed with sweet and savoury recipes.from white chocolate cheesecake to traditional Czech dishes like Pečená kachna. It is jam packed and well worth a look! I've made a handful of recipes from the book so far, and all of them have been delicious!!
So pop on down to the White Magic Shop and buy your copy today for only £8 and cook like your favourite Phoenix players!
