As the dark nights slowly start to creep in and the winter woollies emerge from the wardrobe, we’re all after something a little bit more comforting when it comes to mealtime. While many of the District’s venues have new autumn menus on offer, it’s just not possible to eat out every night, so why not create some of your favourite dishes from home with the latest edition of our Cook Book.

We launched the Cook Book back in the summer to celebrate 10 years of the Colmore BID Food Festival. We’ve had so many requests for other recipes and venues that we thought we’d release a new edition, tailored perfectly for those colder nights.

So, why not dive into a bowl of Halloumi Fries from Hookways or a delectable dish of Butter Chicken from Asha’s? Hanger Steak from Gaucho or Potato, Bacon and Spinach Salad from Primitivo. What’s dinner without a good cocktail or two though? We have recipes from Home is Where Café Deli and Purnell’s Bistro & Gingers Bar.

If you’re planning at having a go at one of the recipes, why not snap a pic and upload it to Twitter, tagging @ColmoreBID and using the hashtag #ColmoreEats. If you do, you could be in with a chance of winning £50 of vouchers to spend at a venue featured in this edition of the Cook Book.

You have until Midnight on Sunday 1 December to get your pictures in, with the winner being chosen shortly after.
