DK Pre-empt Turns Cookbook World Upside Down

DK RED will publish Upside Down Cooking: Layer, Bake, Flip: Brand New Way to Cook in One Tray by Dominic Franks, known on Instagram as @dominthekitchen. Editorial director Cara Armstrong pre-empted world rights in a good two-book deal from Liza DeBlock of Mushens Entertainment. The first book will be out in hardback on 5th June in the UK, and 17th June in the US.

Franks is known for his ‘upside down’ recipes, starting with his upside down caramelised onion tart, which went viral on social media. Upside Down Cooking features 85 one-pan recipes, including mini puff pizzas, chicken pot pies, and banana toffee tarts. 

Franks said: “I'm beyond excited about the launch of my first book, I can't wait to share my upside down recipes with the world and show food connoisseurs and newbies alike that there's a delicious and brand new way to cook in one tray!”

Armstrong said: “Dominic Franks is the master of effortless, delicious comfort food and leader of the new one-pan revolution. With no fuss, minimal washing up, and never a soggy bottom in sight - Upside Down Cooking will transform your approach to mealtimes.”

DeBlock said: “I am delighted that Dom and Cara are teaming up to turn the cookbook world upside down! These delicious recipes will change the game in your kitchen.'“
