We’re constantly blown away by how many chefs and celebrities choose to cook on a Big Green Egg either at work or at home. So, to help celebrate our 50th birthday, we tasked this star-studded community with creating 50 brand-new recipes that capture what they love about the EGG.

THE HOPPERS RESTAURATEUR
Karan Gokani
OPEN-FIRE MAGIC
Karan Gokani grew up in Mumbai before moving to the UK to pursue a short-lived career as a lawyer. His real passion was always food. Inspired by the open-fire cooking of Sri Lanka and South India, he opened his first Hoppers restaurant in Soho in 2015, followed by two more London branches. Karan has been cooking at home on a Big Green Egg for several years. He loves the versatility it offers and the sense of control. The flavours it creates, he says, are like “someone lighting a fire in autumn down your street and you being able to smell it when you come outside”.
World Cup-winning rugby union centre Will Greenwood owns a Big Green Egg and loves firing it up to feed his family and friends. He doesn’t claim to be quite as adept with an EGG as he was with an egg-shaped ball, but he’s slowly building his skills, cook by cook. For his two recipes, he rustled us up a chicken pad thai with a side of spicy prawns – simple, healthy, but absolutely packed with vibrant flavours.
At work, Tom Aiken is a master of Michelin-starred dining, overseeing acclaimed restaurants everywhere from Tokyo to London. At home, he looks to simpler fare, using his EGG to elevate the flavours of high-quality ingredients. He has gifted us five fantastic recipes, including a whole baked sea bass, a Brazilian-style steak, and a scallop dish so uncomplicated it doesn’t need plating.
Some of our recipes, guides, experiences and new products are reserved for members of The Club, a community that seeks to make the most of the Big Green Egg lifestyle. The Club is free to join and open to everyone, whether or not you own an EGG.
