The Cornish royalty Jack Stein
Land and sea
Jack, son of the legendary Rick, has taken over from his father at the helm of the Stein family’s much-loved restaurants. Jack is firmly rooted in Cornwall and is a passionate advocate for the county’s sustainable, small-scale food producers. He also loves cooking on the Big Green Egg. For his two recipes, he’s rustled up the simplest of grilled shellfish platters followed by a classic surf and turf: best of the sea, best of the land.
DiscoverThe Dorchester prodigy Tom Booton
Park Lane Legend
Tom Booton, executive chef at London's Dorchester hotel, has brought a new sense of adventure to the kitchens of this historic Park Lane institution, including the regular use of two MiniMax EGGs. Tom has taken three of the fantastic dishes from the menu of the hotel's acclaimed Grill restaurant and reshaped the recipes for you to recreate at home.
Go to the GRILLTHE 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”.
DiscoverThe England rugby legend Will Greenwood
Vibrant Thai flavours
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.
DiscoverThe Michelin-starred maestro Tom Aikens
Elevated ingredients
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.
