Angry Birds the renowned popular game brings a new delight to the game. The story remains centred on the Bad Piggies that have stolen the Angry Birds eggs but the game has been transported into the delights of a cookbook.

Rovio, a global leader in mobile communications in cooperation with Nokia, hosted an Angry Bird’s evening to mark the launch of the new cookbook. During the evening we were offered such delicious recipes from the hands of celebrity chef, Aldo Zilli.

All the recipes on offer are from those in the Angry Birds cookbook and of course, the main ingredient is an egg or two or three. The recipes range across several meals including, breakfast, lunch, and a main meal, and in addition desserts and drinks. While the Bad Piggies cook-up a meal – there are other great features in the book with a short picture story gloriously illustrated on each page as well as fun and games for both adult and children. There are sketches for the children to be artistic and a few spare pages to make those essential notes.

In addition to the cookbook, Rovio announced the release of the Angry Birds Doodle books available in ‘Big Red’ or ‘Big Green’. The books allow your child to doodle and use their imagination to be creative and artistic.

The event was well organised with everyone made comfortable with a play area for the children and activity desks and Doodle books. It did not take long for some of the older children to get stuck in.

So, this Christmas the Angry Birds cookbook brings in a novel and new idea to share with your loved ones.  The cookbook is initially on sale at Waterstone’s and Amazon with other book providers to follow. Thank you to Rovio and Nokia Connects.
