BURGERS & SLIDERS30 classic and gourmet recipes for the original fast food

The classic burger has gone from humble beginnings (as a simple hamburger

sandwich brought over to the States by German immigrants) to become an enduring

symbol of modern fast-food culture. But now these popular patties are enjoying a

renaissance with the arrival of the gourmet burger and its little cousin the ‘slider’ (mini

burger). High-quality burgers, made with organic ingredients and bold flavourings are

topped with inspired new takes on mayos and relishes and presented in freshly-baked

artisan buns and rolls. Mouth-watering recipes to try in this book include Classic

Restaurant Burgers with Bacon, Cheese and Pickles; Mexican Burgers with Homemade

Guacamole and Fresh Tomato Salsa; Lamb and Feta Burgers with Homemade Tzatziki;

Root Veggie Burgers with Fresh Guacamole; Pork and Caramelized Apple Sliders; and

Beef Sliders with Mozzarella Pearl Centres in Mini Ciabatta.

KEY SELLING POINTS• Gourmet ‘junk’ food is a fast-growing foodie trend, as the recent rise in popularity of

gourmet burger, slider and hotdog restaurants demonstrates.

THE AUTHORMiranda Ballard and her husband left behind their London media careers (Miranda was

Sir David Frost’s PA and Roland worked for Working Title Films) in 2008 to return to

their home county of Worcestershire to launch their own food company. They wanted to

rebrand the idea of the burger, to prove it is a versatile and nutritious food and promote

top quality, ethically farmed, beef. Muddy Boots had stalls at over 350 farmers’ markets

and food shows within their first year and now their fresh, gourmet burgers are available

nationwide, in 90 Waitrose stores. This is Miranda’s first book.
