The Cookbook

The Underground Cookery School has come a long way from its humble beginnings in a small church hall next to Liverpool Street Station. Over the past 21 years, we’ve transformed into a culinary institution housed in designer kitchens in the heart of Shoreditch, thriving where many top restaurants have come and gone. Our journey reflects the dynamic and resilient spirit of London’s hospitality industry.

To celebrate this milestone, we are proud to present our very first cookbook—a 21-year celebration of what makes The Underground Cookery School truly special. This book is more than just a collection of recipes; it’s a tribute to the countless parties we’ve hosted, the vibrant atmosphere we’ve created, and the community we’ve built. Inside, you’ll find a rich tapestry of stories, featuring the food we love to cook, the customers who have become like family, the dedicated staff who have shaped our journey, and the unforgettable experiences that define our school.

Whether you’re a seasoned chef or a home cook, this cookbook offers a unique glimpse into the world of The Underground Cookery School. Each page is filled with our signature recipes, carefully crafted to bring a taste of our kitchen into yours. Join us in celebrating 21 years of culinary excellence, creativity, and passion. This book is not just a keepsake—it’s an invitation to be part of our story.
