Home / Food and Drink / Brick Lane Cookbook Brick Lane Cookbook by Dina Begum Brick Lane Cookbook SKU: 9780957037397 Categories: Birlinn/Polygon, Food and Drink £20.00 Brick Lane is famous for many things. Not only is it home to the biggest Bangladeshi community in the UK, crammed with curry houses and Bengali sweet shops, it is also the site of one of London’s most long-running markets. Located in a part of East London that has seen many waves of immigration over the centuries, Brick Lane certainly wears its history with pride. Huguenot townhouses butt up against mosques that were once synagogues. The oldest beigel bakery in the UK still serves hungry punters 24 hours a day. The pavements throng with city boys, art students, curry house touts, models and tourists. And there are restaurants and street food stalls serving them food from every part of the world. Dina Begum has been a regular visitor since she was a little girl eating lamb kofta rolls with her dad at the Sweet & Spicy cafe. In this, her first book, she celebrates Brick Lane’s diverse food cultures. Whether it’s the homestyle Bangladeshi curries she grew up eating or the classic Buffalo wings from award-winning restaurant Sticky Wings, Dina has a recipe for you. With contributions from street food traders and restaurants including Gram Bangla, Beigel Bake, Blanchette, Chez Elles, St Sugar of London, Cafe 1001 and Moo Cantina, the Brick Lane Cookbook is a culinary map of the East End’s tastiest street and a snapshot of London at its authentic, multi-cultural best. Dina Begum is a British Bangladeshi food writer whose work has appeared in Metro, The Telegraph and Huffington Post. She also sells her delicious, Asian-fusion jams and chutneys at markets around London. Follow her food journey at www.dinabegum.co.uk.
