unobtainable. We would be grateful if the appropriate people could contact us.

I would like to thank all of those people who have attempted to teach
me how to cook over the years, not least my mum, who wisely gave
up very early on.

Francesca Ballentyne, Jamie Faber and Oliver Wiseman also need
to be thanked for letting me share a kitchen with them and running
the considerable risk of poisoning or worse.

Emily Sargent, Farlie Reynolds, Emma Carter, Anna Ohrling and
James Goadsby have been extraordinarily helpful when the going got
too tough for me.

Toby Buchan, my wonderful editor who has whipped this book into
better shape than I ever could.

And finally Jack Holmes, whose friendship and artistic prowess
have been integral in making this book what it is.

If youve bought this cookbook hoping that it will be as good as
Breaking Bad was, youre going to be disappointed. Breaking Bad
was one of the greatest shows of all time, if not the greatest.
This cookbook is probably not. So lower your expectations now.
And, if you havent bought this cookbook, then I resent you, and I
dont care what your expectations are.

This book is a tribute to the two best
cooks in the United States of America
and possibly the world Walter White
and Jesse Pinkman. For five seasons
and sixty-two episodes they made
batch after batch of the purest crystal
imaginable and in the process won
the hearts of everyone who watched
them. Or at least Jesse did... the jury
is still out on Walter. And in this book
I hope I have recreated some of their
greatest cooks and provided you with
the recipes to do the same. From Gus
Frings exotic paila marina to Hanks

quality Schraderbru, from the famed
White family breakfast to Venezias
pepperoni pizza, I try to show you
the way to emulate the shows finest
culinary creations.

Unfortunately, unlike Walter, I have
very limited scientific expertise and,
unlike Jesse, nobody to show me the
ropes. Whats more, I really cant cook.
So for me to write a cookbook is a very
questionable decision. Nonetheless,
without new episodes of Breaking Bad
to look forward to, I had been driven
to increasingly desperate lengths to

get my next hit, and so The Breaking
Bad Cookbook was born. I hope that
for those Breaking Baddicts out there
