The Clink Canapé Cookbook is now available to buy, priced at £14.99, with all proceeds going towards developing more prisoner rehabilitation schemes across Her Majesty’s Prison Estate.
The cookbook, created by prisoner rehabilitation initiative The Clink Charity, presents 100 canapé recipes carefully crafted by The Clink Restaurant founder Alberto Crisci MBE, Clink trainees and graduates, ambassadors and friends of the charity. Contributors include The Clink’s group chef ambassador and world renowned restaurateur Albert Roux OBE, Michelin star chef Angela Hartnett, Clink chef ambassadors Cyrus Todiwala OBE DL, Antonio Carluccio, Giorgio Locatelli and Wahaca co-founder Thomasina Miers.
Among the guests at the official launch event last month were Rt Hon Michael Gove MP, Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice and Roux, who was signing cookbooks for guests.
Clink Events – the event catering arm of the charity – served a selection of delicious hot and cold canapés that were prepared and served by graduates of The Clink training scheme and young homeless people from Centrepoint, using recipes taken directly from the cookbook. The evening’s menu featured smoked eel, beet terrine and horseradish spoons (Albert Roux), haggis scotch quail’s eggs (Michael Gove) and mini seasonal fruit tartlets (Alberto Crisci).
The Clink Canapé Cookbook is available on Amazon and copies can be purchased from The Clink Restaurants. Books purchased before 16 December will be guaranteed for delivery before Christmas.
