GEORGE EGG - SNACK HACKER (@thesnackhacker)

Interpretive dance to help persuade you to buy my book several times.

Nigella has reviewed my book. Gosh! I can’t link directly to the review here but if you head to Nigella.com it’s there in the latest news (there’s a pic of my fish finger spaghetti). What a scoop! @

That was cool

We’ve done it! We’ve concentrated the flavours of an entire book and condensed them into a seasoning dust. And it’s something you can enjoy too. I present SNACK HACKER SEASONING. I’m so pleased to announce that in a collaboration with the genius Tubby Tom (@tubbytoms) we’ve created a delicious seasoning powder which enhances so many things that I don’t know where to start. If you’re familiar with my videos and my book you’ll know I’m seriously into fennel and aniseed flavours and the sweet and savoury hit of liquorice is powerful in this magic powder. But there’s smoke too, a lovely bitterness from sesame, sour in the form of sumac and a delicious hint of orange. Honestly this stuff in incredible on cooked meats, vegetables, eggs, on any number of high street fast food favourites (Egg McMuffin anyone?) and, seriously, even vanilla ice cream. And all delivered to you in a handy tub with amazing artwork by Jem Ward (@jemhpward), the illustrator who also did my book. It’s available RIGHT NOW. Get to Tubby Toms (there’s a link in my profile) and get yourself some tins. And crucially, let me know what you put it on! #snackhacker #georgeegg #seasoning #bbq @Tubby Tom

PEANUT BUTTER, BANANA & PEPERAMI TOASTIE I’m the Snack Hacker, demonstrating fast, easy, innovative ideas for tasty bites. Having appeared on OFF MENU this week I thought I should remind you all of the snack I put together with the help of Jame Acaster. When he was a teenager he enjoyed a diet of peanut butter and bacon sandwiches, so we put our heads together and came up with this - peanut butter, fried peperami and banoffee spread. I don’t know how easy it is to get hold of that banoffee spread but you could just as easily use a mixture of sliced bananas and honey, or dulce de leche. Or how about those foamy yellow banana sweets?… maybe not those. For other recipes and lots more please GET MY COOKBOOK. It’s called THE SNACK HACKER and it’s out in June but you can preorder it from all the usual places. It’s going to be amazing I promise you.

NASTURTIUM & PISTACHIO PESTO (in a cup noodle of course) I’m the Snack Hacker, demonstrating fast, easy, innovative ideas for tasty bites. Feels a bit posh for me doesn't it!?

MCGYROS I’m the Snack Hacker, demonstrating fast, easy, innovative ideas for tasty bites.

LIQUORICE PANGRATTATO I’m the Snack Hacker, demonstrating fast, easy, innovative ideas for tasty bites. Fried bread. What a thing. Shunned these days from many a breakfast but back in the '80s it was standard. Fried breadcrumbs, aka pangrattato is a pretty good substitute and it keeps in a jar for ages, or for as long as you can resist snacking on it. Add liquorice root powder and a pinch of sugar and you've something even more exciting. For other recipes and lots more please GET MY COOKBOOK.

BALSAMIC BIG MAC I’m the Snack Hacker, demonstrating fast, easy, innovative ideas for tasty bites. Wild garlic is back in season and here's a way to use a handful of leaves. Stop the press folks, you can REQUEST a sachet of balsamic dressing from McDonald's whether you're buying one of their salads or not. Mix that dressing with the doctored contents of a Big Mac along, some bitter radicchio and your wild garlic, add some very hot English mustard to the toasted sides of the buns and you've got something somewhere between a steak sandwich and a bitter Italian salad. And a Big Mac. For other recipes and lots more please GET MY COOKBOOK. It’s called THE SNACK HACKER and it’s out in June but you can preorder it from all the usual places.

PORRIDGE POT FISH FINGERS I’m the Snack Hacker, demonstrating fast, easy, innovative ideas for tasty bites. I can’t seem to stop playing around with these porridge pots can I?! (See last video). You buy these little porridge pots with the intention of using them when you stay overnight in a hotel, but after being seduced by the hotel breakfast buffet you find them in your suitcase when you return home. What to do with them? What about some fish fingers? Mix into the porridge pot (a plain one) some smoked paprika, turmeric, fennel seeds, black pepper and salt (ideally smoked salt which you can get from, amongst other places, my pal Tubby Tom). Cut some fish pieces (I used sea bass) into fingers, coat in the spiced and seasoned porridge and fry in a little oil. Enjoy with tartare sauce.

Porridge pot. Oil. Syrup. Salted peanuts. Sultanas. Very nice.

Book cover! V exciting.

BRIOCHE APPLE PIE I’m the Snack Hacker, demonstrating fast, easy, innovative ideas for tasty bites. The apple pie from McDonald's is something to behold, but it's too sweet for me, and it often leaves you feeling a little guilty. And besides, you're not always near a McDonald's. Here's a version made in a toastie-maker. If you have a clamshell one like mine then ideal, and cook it over a low flame. If you only have a Breville-type plug in one that'll work too, just keep an eye on it as it burns quickly. INGREDIENTS: 2 slices brioche lots of butter 3-4 tbsp apple sauce pinch of cinnamon pinch of ground cloves icing sugar METHOD: Generously butter the brioche and assemble a sandwich of apple sauce with the cinnamon and clove sprinkled over and with the butter on the outside. Toast until golden. Let it cool on a rack to maintain crispiness. Dust with icing sugar. Caution, filling is HOT! For other recipes and lots more please GET MY COOKBOOK.

PUKKA PIE WITH LEMON, OLIVES & FENNEL I’m the Snack Hacker, demonstrating fast, easy, innovative ideas for tasty bites. I'm joined by comedian, actor, writer and all round creative powerhouse Jamie Demetriou. Jamie loves preserved lemons so I show him how to use them to turn a chicken and mushroom Pukka pie into something much more exciting. INGREDIENTS: 1 Chicken and Mushroom Pie (I used Pukka) 1 or 2 Preserved Lemons 6 or 7 Green Olives 1 tsp Fennel Seeds Black Pepper 1 Egg METHOD: Roughly chop up the lemon and olives. Toast the fennel seeds and give them a cursory grind/bash/chop. Carefully cut the lid off the pie where the join was and insert olives, lemon and sprinkles of fennel and black pepper until you feel you’ve enhanced enough. Then add a bit more lemon. Egg-wash the top of the pastry and re-attach the lid before egg-washing the top and sprinkling on a few more of the toasted seeds. Bake as per the instructions (for a Pukka Pie like I used it’s about 30 mins at 200ºC). Take it out, cut it open, if you have some give it a sprinkle with some fresh herbs (I used fennel tops and chives) and tuck in. It’s SO GOOD THIS ONE. SO GOOD.

SALTED ROLO DESSERT I’m the Snack Hacker, demonstrating fast, easy, innovative ideas for tasty bites. Frighteningly simple. Two ingredients and one process. INGREDIENTS: 1 Rolo Dessert 1 pinch Smoked Sea Salt METHOD: Really? Freeze the Rolo Dessert, peel off the lid, add a pinch of smoked salt But do experiment with other pudding pots and see what else works. I think as an alternative to salt you could try salted peanuts, dry-roasted peanuts, crushed pretzels or even Twiglet crumbs.
