Russell Alford and Patrick Hanlon are fried food aficionados – they are absolutely obsessed with anything that can be put in a deep fryer or a pot full of dripping. They've taken familiar favourites, chipper classics and the flavours we can’t get enough of these days and have created the ultimate version of every recipe, from the perfect chips to spice burgers, corn dogs and Korean fried chicken. Their style is all about fun, casual and approachable food, which is exactly what this book delivers.

"Ever since I first heard that this book was in the works, I’ve been in a ferment of excitement ... And I just love it, from the glorious cover on. It’s a small book, but one which brings huge pleasure: Black Pudding Scotch Eggs; Potato Pavé; Korean Fried Chicken; Frickles (fried pickles, natch); Bacon and Cheese Croquettes; and, of course, chips are some of the joys within." - Nigella Lawson
