Published in 2025, Blood, Sweat and Asparagus Spears is Andrew Turvil’s lively account of Britain’s 1990s restaurant revolution. Drawing on his experience as editor of leading food guides, Turvil charts the decade’s shift from formal dining to celebrity chefs, gastropubs, fusion cooking and accessible restaurant culture. Moving from Marco Pierre White and Nobu to Wagamama and the £5 recession lunch, the book combines culinary history, memoir and sharp observation with wit and enthusiasm throughout Britain.
