An Evening with Si King

Join us as we celebrate Si Kings new book Proper Home Cooking in style - there'll be a book chat and signing, plus live music and your chance to get yer gob round a PROPA pie!Si King believes that great food should be for everyone, every day.

In his first solo title, Si shares the food he cooks and eats at home: honest, unfussy dishes that are right for real life.

From quick and easy weekday solutions and naughty late-night store-cupboard raids to feeding a house full of friends and family, these recipes prove that eating well doesn't have to cost the earth or take hours of preparation.Drawing on family memories and favourite ingredients, dishes include Frying Pan Pizza, Funky Bean Stew, Spicy Peanut Noodles, Homemade Doner Kebabs, and Banana and Butterscotch pudding.

With more than 100 triple-tested recipes, these are dishes you'll come back to again and again, whether you're wondering what to make for the family, cooking for a crowd or simply in need of a quick and tasty snack.Good music, like good food, comes from the heart and music is one of Sis first loves.

Groovetrain Acoustic is an off-track and unplugged presentation of songs and stories with Si keeping everyone in time and in the groove.Propa Pies will be serving a special Wylam Book Launch menu - choose from steak + ale, butter chicken curry, leek potato butterbean and cheese and spiced butternut squash lentil and spinach pie - all served with mash + gravy.

All that deliciousness for 12An unmissable evening!
