White Lion has bagged the first official cookbook inspired by hit television show "Peaky Blinders".

Jessica Axe, publisher, acquired world rights to The Official Peaky Blinders Cookbook from Alice Bernardi, director of international brand licensing at Banijay Brands. It will publish on 8th March 2022.

The show launched in 2019 and is set to air its sixth and final series in 2022. The cookbook will feature 50 recipes inspired by the iconic locations the infamous gang inhabits, from the bar at The Garrison, to the glamour of the Eden Club and the extravagance of Arrow House. It will also feature stills from the series as well as specially commissioned photography.

The publisher said it will give fans "everything they need to eat like the Shelby family and immerse themselves in the culinary experiences of the Peaky Blinders". Recipes range from "hearty family fare, to snacks, sandwiches and bar food, as well as lavish canapes, lunches and dinners".

It includes dishes such as warming vegetable and barley soup with Alfie Solomons’ soda bread, grilled oysters with parmesan crumb, roast rabbit with bacon and mushrooms in a whisky sauce, flavourful glazed celeriac steaks with breadcrumbs and herbs, a steak and ale pie with a tasty mash, butter and sage roast chicken with mushrooms and tarragon cream sauce, plus sloe gin jelly with blackberries and cream.
