New 'World Football Food' cookbook gives fans a culinary kick-off to Word Cup 2026

CHESHUNT, U.K. - April 22, 2026 - PRLog -- Football fans will get to eat their way through the World Cup Finals this summer with the launch of the World Football Food cookbook – a unique guide to the flavours of the tournament, with more than 200 recipes from the 48 competing nations.

The book combines delicious national recipes with top-level tournament insight, offering a tasty way to celebrate with friends and family during the world's biggest football competition, which kicks off in the USA, Mexico and Canada in June.

Carefully researched and developed by sports journalist and home cooking fan Will Gray, it offers six recipes for every country – three snacks, one main and two sides – with easy-to-follow instructions and widely available traditional ingredients or substitutions.

Author and editor Will Gray said: "I've been cooking dishes from competing nations in the World Cup and Euros tournaments for years with my friends and family. It's great fun, and it really adds to the experience – so I developed this book to help more people do it.

"It's great to enjoy different dishes from each side – so, when England kick off their tournament against Croatia on June 17, your snacks could include some pulled-beef Yorkshires and some of Croatia's cheese and herb flaky pastry Sirnica Triangles.

"Nobody wants to spend hours in the kitchen on a matchday, though, so the recipes have been developed to be as simple as possible, also adding suggestions to make them quicker – so you can go fully authentic if you have time, or choose quicker options if kick-off is close."
