Sean Bean fans from all around the world,
united by their admiration for Sean in his role as Richard Sharpe
in the popular TV series have come together to write a recipe
book. All royalties will be donated to the
National Osteoporosis Society (NOS)
Sean Bean, in his introduction to the book,
says ‘As a patron of the National Osteoporosis Society, I
am
delighted to put my name to this book’
Sean talks of the important work that the
NOS carries out, helping the many men and women affected by
osteoporosis and their families, to cope. He says ‘By being
a part of the Sharpe Chefs, I am able to further
support the NOS and their work’.
Adele James, of the Sharpe Chefs said,
“We first got together as admirers of Sean Bean and his work,
and
wanted to write a book in aid of one of his charities in order
to 'thank' him for getting us all together as
we are now firm friends.”
Bernard Cornwell, author of the Sharpe
books has written an introduction to the book and even provided
recipes from Richard Sharpe. All recipes are inspired by the Sharpe
series and showcase the international
cooking traditions of the Sharpe Chefs.
The book also contains recipes from Sharpe’s
loyal companions, ‘The Chosen Men’ including a recipe
by actor Daragh O’Malley who played Harper in the series.
The book is much more than just a cookbook,
containing interesting historical information about food in Sharpe’s
era.
The NOS makes an important contribution
to the book with advice and information about Osteoporosis.
