The stagiest eatery in town, The Theatre Cafe, has teamed up with West End legend Mazz Murray to release a super stagey cookbook, packed with food and drink from performers across the industry. The book was announced on 16 March 2021, one year since the West End first went dark due to the pandemic.
Over the past year, we have all had to spend more time than usual in our kitchens. So what have our theatrical friends been cooking up? Filled with scrumptious snacks, mouth-watering meals, delectable desserts and stunning cocktails – all with stagey names, of course – And 5, 6, 7, EAT allows theatre-lovers and fellow industry members to get up close and personal with their friends and favourite performers.
The cookbook will be in hardcover and is priced at £25 plus P&P, with a portion of proceeds going toward theatre charity Acting for Others.
“We are thrilled to finally be releasing a cookbook, and thought it appropriate to commemorate one year since theatres closed on 16 March 2020. It’s been tough for our industry, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Until then, we will go on supporting everyone as much as we can, and continue to fly our flag for the Arts.”
Joe Davey, Owner of The Theatre Cafe

“Because London theatre has been so dark, my theatre family and some of my stage-star friends have joined the amazing Theatre Cafe to make this recipe cookbook of all our foodie favs. Shakespeare would never have believed that this year ‘food be the music of love’ – so, eat up!”
