Behind The Cookbook: The Eagle Cookbook

The Eagle in London’s Farringdon opened in 1991 and hatched the concept of the gastropub as we now know it. The Eagle Cookbook is a showcase for the gutsy, heartfelt cooking that still comes from its famed open kitchen. We talk to former chefs to find out what it was like to work at the ground-breaking pub, and what they think lies behind The Eagle’s continued success.
