'BRAVE, BOLD COOKING THAT PUTS WHOLE VEGETABLES AT THE CENTRE OF
YOUR PLATE. I WANT TO COOK (AND EAT) IT ALL.' - ANNA JONES More
than 100 everyday, plant-based recipes, including several with QR
links to online videos. Each recipe in Vegan Love has a veggie as
the star, treated as you would meat or fish - so slow-cooked,
baked, roasted, pan-fried or grilled. Each one also consists of the
same 4 components: a big veggie (the main) + a protein side (a
pulse or grain) + a sauce or cream or dressing + a topping (herbs
and crunch) Many can be cooked in 30 minutes, none use
less-than-healthy vegan substitutes and all elevate veggies to the
next level, showing how simple and tasty they can be. Several are
also accompanied by QR codes for online tutorials.

It's official, plants are cool. They conjure up exotic places,
bring nature indoors and make you feel better. Who wouldn't choose
to share a space with them - but where do you start? The good news
is there's a plant for every windowsill or shelf, for every shady
yard or front door step. And whatever your style - from urban sleek
to shabby chic to retro - there are plants that will fit into your
life and make it brighter and more interesting. Get Plants picks up
on this trend by putting plants front and centre of a new book for
a wide general audience, especially those that don't see themselves
as gardeners. It shows that with a little know-how you can find a
plant that will flourish in the many different "ecological niches"
available in and around your home from shady basement stairwell to
south-facing windowsill. Exciting contemporary photography shows
how they pep up your living space and give a taste of the
satisfaction you get in looking after them. This is an opportunity
to showcase intriguing sundews and lithops, grow large majestic
trees from seed to keep on your front step (for a while) and find
out a bit of plant science along the way - why do orchid flowers
last so long, why must you keep water topped up in the funnel of a
bromeliad? The book draws on the work of the Royal Botanic Gardens,
Kew - its scientific work, plant hunting and fieldwork, plant
collections and horticultural knowledge. Throughout the book author
Katherine Price weaves in the expert advice of Kew's gardeners and
scientists, distilling the essence of Kew's expertise into
practical use. This no-nonsense, beautiful book is a practical
guide guaranteed to inspire any reader.
