Two Cooks (4)
Published in 2002, Two Cooks And A Suitcase quickly became a cult favourite among enthusiastic foodies. The story of how the book came about is followed by descriptions of the different cuisines covered, tips on how to use Chiles, the basics of making a roux and making fresh tortillas. With all the basics covered it's now time for the recipes. Traditional Mexican, Cajun, Creole and Soulfood recipes fill the pages of this section. Some are easy, some are more tricky but they are all made with authentic ingredients and all taste fantastic.
A great read, great tips and a scrumptious feed!!

Like the first book, TWO COOKS AND A SUITCASE, the book, though essentially
a cookbook, contains a story content. The story content is based around a
strange but true theme,
Deli Bag Around The World

We also know you love our Eco Bags with El Bag on one side and Chile Dog on the other so here's our idea.

Be part of our online photo gallery and future book - Deli Bag Around the World.

Two Cooks and a SuitcaseRevised Edition. In the Autumn of 1989 Doug Bell and Rhoda Robertson slicked back their hair, packed their knives and closed the door of their Rhythm & Blues Restaurant for the last time to become the Travelling Cooks. They set off on the Rock 'n' Roll adventure of a lifetime. Their plan - to cross the States and head down Mexico way. Their mission - to sample the local cuisine and collect the very best recipes en route. The rules - to have fun and get drunk...... a lot. |
