WINNER OF 'CONTENT CREATOR OF THE YEAR' AT THE FORTNUM AND MASON FOOD AND DRINK AWARDS 2024

'The cookbook I've been waiting for my entire life' - JAMES ACASTER

'One of the most exciting new cookbooks that's being released in 2025' - OLIVE MAGAZINE

A collection of over 90 rule-breaking recipes of unpretentious cooking for everyone from the well-seasoned cook to the kitchen-shy greedy-guts.

George Egg inhabits a place where the potentially frowned-upon (processed cheese, crabsticks, salad cream) sits with the gourmet (date syrup, tahini, seaweed) and on occasion the deluxe (lumpfish caviar, liquorice root powder, Babybel). Discover hacks for fast food favourites alongside 'proper' recipes, using surprising combinations, unexpected ingredients and unconventional methods as George guides you from Deep-fried Pot Noodle to Chip Shop Tortilla, Microwave Shakshuka to Twiglet Brownies and Peshwari Toasties to Beer-battered Celebrations.

Served with a generous helping of culinary memories and heart-warming stories, The Snack Hacker is a joyful celebration of food and a reminder that it's sensible to play in the kitchen.

About the Author

George Egg is a comedian, a cook and a content creator. Since 2015 he has written, produced and performed four live cooking-with-comedy shows. All four shows enjoyed sell out runs at The Edinburgh Festival Fringe and went on to tour both nationally as well as overseas.

During the Covid lockdown George began producing 'Snack Hacker', his short-form online food show in which he interferes with familiar food items, improving them and creating innovative recipes with food-centric stand-up. Over one hundred episodes later, the show has amassed tens of millions of views, an avid social media following and has attracted a slew of A-list guests from the worlds of comedy and food, including Romesh Ranganathan and James Acaster. The show's success has in turn lead to George appearing as a 'celebrity chef' at numerous food festivals, as well as winning Content Creator of the Year at the Fortnum and Mason Food and Drinks Awards 2024.

George has appeared (and cooked) on Channel 4's Bake Off: An Extra Slice and Steph's Packed Lunch, ITV's This Morning and BBC Radio 4's Loose Ends as well as guest-presenting an episode of BBC Radio 4's The Food Programme. He now features regularly on Loose Ends as one of the shows roster of co-hosts and appears every Monday on Craig Charles' BBC 6 Music show where he talks snacks.
