INDEX AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

INTRODUCTION

Having a meal with others is something we do a hell of a lot. It’s also, we believe, one of the most underrated, underestimated, and misunderstood rituals in life. We take it for granted. We must eat to survive, sure, but this fact breeds complacency. Too often we retire from dinner brow-beaten from heated conversation and lumpy mashed potato. Every time you get round the table, or plonk yourself down in front of the game with pals, you should be smiling, but that’s often easier said than done.

We know the feeling: you’ve flicked through every cookbook and food channel going, but you still don’t know what to make for dinner. Your tastebuds are calling out for something new, a little bit naughty, and quite possibly wrapped in bacon.

Don’t despair, because the following recipes are guaranteed to kick your kitchen into gear with some of the simplest, tastiest, and most twisted food combinations you’ve ever seen. If you make any of the recipes that follow in this little book, you’ll be sure to make a few people smile. They might even laugh at what you’ve made. But we can almost guarantee they’ll wash the dishes and they’ll be back tomorrow.

Don’t just take our word for it—Twisted’s recipes have been rescuing millions of hungry viewers from the dull dinner apocalypse, adding a daily dash of food porn to newsfeeds all over the world. We want to show you our take on some of the most beloved comfort food from across the planet. Our recipes have been viewed more than one billion million times on Facebook and many of our most-loved and biggest viewed dishes are featured in this book. But that’s just the half of it. The rest? That’s just for you.

When you’re hankering after a meal that’s a trifle strange, offbeat, or downright weird, look no further than Twisted.

BREAKFAST

BREAKFAST NACHOS

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right? Go big, or go home. You’re probably already at home, and probably hungover. So go big! Here we have prepared for you a completely mind-bending hybrid feast inspired by two much-loved classics. The Great British Fry Up and a platter of American nachos—when combined, these are 10000% greater than the sum of their parts. Seriously, try them.

SERVES 4

HOW EASY? WITH EYES CLOSED

1 loaf of sliced white bread

unsalted butter

12 sausages

16 slices of streaky bacon

4 eggs

3 portobello mushrooms

oil, for frying

1 can baked beans in tomato sauce

tomato ketchup

1 Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/Gas 6.

2 Cut the crusts off the slices of bread, then cut each slice diagonally into rough triangles. Butter each triangle, pop on a couple of baking trays, and bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven.

3 Meanwhile, cook all the breakfast items. Broil/grill or fry the sausages and bacon, fry the eggs, slice and fry the mushrooms, heat the beans—you know the drill!

4 Remove the “nachos” from the oven. Drain on paper towels, then arrange on a large serving tray or platter, as you would tortilla chips. Pile on all the other breakfast items—sausages, bacon, mushrooms, beans, eggs, and a good squeeze of ketchup. Enjoy!

BREAKFAST BÁNH MÌ

Next to Pho, Bánh mì are up there with the best of Vietnamese street food. You may already know this. What you may not know, however, is that these inspired sandwiches can now be a big part of your weekend breakfast ritual. It already is here at Twisted. Everyone can get their hands on bacon and eggs, for goodness’ sake. There is literally no excuse not to try this. Also, I’ll tell you a secret—it’s one of the tastiest recipes in here. From Mi to you.

SERVES 3

HOW EASY? PAINLESS

9 slices of thick, unsmoked streaky bacon

oil, for greasing and frying

6 eggs

1 crusty sourdough baguette, cut into 3 sandwich-sized lengths

salted butter, softened

3½ oz/100g liver pâté (duck is best, but chicken is also legit)

a few tablespoons of good-quality mayonnaise

a few shakes of Maggi seasoning (soy sauce is also fine)

1 hot red chili, sliced

a good few sprigs of cilantro/ coriander

FOR THE PICKLES:

⅔ cup/150ml rice wine vinegar

½ cup/100g sugar, and to taste

½ tablespoon coriander seeds

a good pinch of salt

1 inch/2.5cm piece of cinnamon stick

1 cup/235ml water

1 daikon radish, cut into matchsticks

1 carrot, cut into matchsticks

1 cucumber, cut into thin, long slices

FOR THE SPICE MIX:

1 inch/2.5cm piece of cinnamon stick

1 tablespoon fennel seeds

2 cloves

1 star anise

½ tablespoon black peppercorns

1 Make your pickles. Place the vinegar, sugar, coriander seeds, salt, and cinnamon stick in a pan and bring up to a simmer to dissolve the sugar. Leave to sit for 30 minutes (to steep and also to cool). Strain the pickling juice into a container and top up with the water. Drop in the vegetables, cover, and refrigerate. You can use the pickles straight away, but they are best after a day or so.

2 For the spice mix, toast all of your spices together until they just begin to smoke, then transfer to a pestle and mortar or grinder, and grind to a rough powder.

3 Oil your bacon slices, then sprinkle liberally with the spice mix. Cook in a hot griddle pan, flipping halfway. You want them charred in places, but not too crispy.

4 Fry your eggs in plenty of oil, sprinkling some salt and a little more of the spicing over them as you go.

5 Pop your baguette pieces briefly in a warmed oven to ensure crustiness. Rip apart down one side.
