Dragon's Den star Levi Roots releases cookbook

After winning over the business minds of The Dragon's Den with little more than a song and a smile, entrepreneur Levi Roots has since sold more than one million bottles of his delicious Reggae Reggae Sauce. Building on this success and his ever-growing popularity as a food hero, Levi Roots now has his very own cookbook.

The book features more than 80 simple and exciting recipes such as Mash Up Eggs, Saint Jago de la Vigo Salmon, Guinness punch, Rum Cake and Sweet Potato Pudding. Levi also offers a diverse range of vegetarian dishes and puts a Caribbean twist on classic European favourites such as pizza and pasta.
