Once devoured silently in the depths of the humble sports bar, chicken wings are now a national institution in the US, and are prepared with a huge range of marinades, glazes and dips. This book matches the stratospheric success of the chicken wing with a new level of fantastic flavour combinations. It begins with the reliable, nostalgic favourites and variants on classics, including Baked Bourbon, Smoky Chipotle and Buttermilk Fried Wings. Fancy your wings hot and spicy? Then look no further than Harissa Hot Wings and Habanero and Pineapple - the latter taking the edge off the super spicy heat. If you like to keep abreast of the bold new flavours out there, help yourself to another portion of Cola Wings, Sticky Lime and Maple Wings or the unspeakably decadent Dark Chocolate Mole Wings. Fancy something lighter and a little less outrageous? Then why not tuck in to the fragrant Baked Pistachio Wings or the deliciously subtle Lemon, Basil and Pepper Wings. If you've got a craving for Take-Out from the comfort of your own home, then Szechuan Plum Sauce Wings or Teriyaki Wings or Cajun Alfredo might be right up your alley.This book truly has something for everyone and something for every occasion.

Cooking traditional morning-time meals for dinner feels decadent. You're daring to be different. It's 8pm and you could cobble together an uninspiring chilli con carne, like you do most Wednesdays. Or you could make what you really want -- like you did before conformity came along with its sensible shoes and traditional meal times. While you're there, why not why not jazz it up a little? You're a rule breaker, after all. In Eggs Just The Way You Like Them, you'll find nostalgic classics like Betty Grable Eggs (with a twist of course), but what you didn't expect was a truly outrageous indulgence like New Orleans Benedict, which has to be tried to be believed. Try the super-trendy Fried Game Hen and Cornmeal Waffles or if you're a sweet with savoury fan, why not break out the Monte Cristo from Hot Sandwiches & Savoury Waffles. Discover Pulled Pork Hash and Hash Browns 3 Ways from Skillet Suppers, while Brinner in a Bowl will take you on a journey from east and west, from a spicy Nasi Goreng to a Caribbean Trini Saltfish Buljol. Tuck in to popular sweet and savoury pancake recipes in From the Griddle with Chicks in Blankets and Blueberry Cotton Candy Pancakes.Why not whip up a sensational bake from The Pastry Basket, such as Bacon-butterscotch Cinnamon Rolls and Raspberry Coffee Cake. Last but not least, get on board with a Brunch Punch, an Espresso Martini or Coffee Granita from Cocktails, Coffees & other Hot Beverages. You're in for a treat.

Match your drink to your download for the best viewing experience. During lockdown, we've all discovered the joys of streaming, catch-up, and box sets on TV. Coincidentally perhaps, some of us have also seen "wine o'clock" creeping ever earlier into the day. Why not make the most of both pleasures with this guide to what to drink as you watch. Try a Dirty Don martini to evoke the "Mad Men" era in Manhattan, or feast on a Blood and Sand while catching up with "Big Little Lies". Watch Scandi noir thrillers with a Danish Bloody Mary, or accompany "The Crown" with the Queen's favourite tipple, a Gin & It. "Say Yes to the Dress" demands a glass of Something Blue, while a Red Wedding Blood Martini is the perfect way to warm yourself when "winter is coming." With these recipes for 50 cocktails and mixes, you can easily match your tipple to your TV favourites. Cheers!
