Jez Felwick is The Bowler, delivering gourmet meatballs, fishballs and vegballs from his mobile grass-fed van that can be found in various locations around the UK. All balled by hand, his Great Balls of Fire have garnered fans (or ballers) from food critics to fashionistas. He learnt to cook at the organic farm and cookery school, Ballymaloe near Cork before discovering the 'food truck' scene on a trip to the US which inspired the launch of The Bowler. Currently a regular on the London street food scene, The Bowler also makes appearances at farmers' markets, music events and summer festivals throughout the UK.

Praise for The Bowler: 'Super-cool' -- ES Magazine 'Who knew that meatballs could be so hip?' -- Grazia 'Jez Felwick of The Bowler is a man after our own hearts - he takes a simple, well-loved thing, gets a bit over-obsessed about it and then tries to do it as well as humanly possible. If you're into your balls then this is the book for you.' -- Will Beckett, Hawksmoor 'Jez really gets that the secret of all great food is the quality of the ingredients - little wonder people are beating a path to his truck.' -- Darina Allen, Ballymaloe Cookery School 'These aren't your average mobile food merchants... some of the most exhilarating cooking in the Capital right now' -- Marina O' Loughlin, Metro
