Steven said: “I am really excited to be featured in the Brighton & Sussex Cook Book. To be surrounded by such amazing produce and be part of a dynamic food scene makes me very proud.”

Unique venues and eateries showcase Brighton shop hiSbe’s cauliflower steak with mushroom risotto, to Pallant of Arundel’s Baked Golden Cross goat’s cheese and tomatoes on sourdough toast.

Mark Robinson of Pallant of Arundel said: “As a purveyor of fine food and wine we were keen to be included in the book and will hopefully become a destination for readers who are eager to source local produce. We have a great wealth of local producers here in Sussex making delicious cheese, growing fantastic quality fruit and vegetables, bakers, chocolatiers and of course brewers and wine makers! The Brighton and Sussex Cook Book will hopefully highlight some of them as well as many of the magnificent restaurants we have here in Arundel and across the counties East and West.”
