Why don't we eat more veg? They're healthy, cost-effective and, above all, delicious. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall believes that we should all be eating more of the good stuff, as he explains in this brilliant book.
He's come up with an abundance of veg-tastic recipes, including a warm salad of grilled courgettes, lemon, garlic, mint and mozzarella, a winter giant couscous salad with herbs and walnuts, radishes with butter and salt, lemony guacamole, linguine with mint and almond pesto and cherry tomatoes, baby carrot risotto, new potato gnocchi, a summer stir-fry with green veg, ginger, garlic and sesame, a winter stir-fry with Brussels sprouts, shiitake mushrooms and five-spice, a cheesy tomato tart, a spring onion gallette, roast jacket chips with merguez spices and spiced yoghurt, curried bubble and squeak, scrambled eggs and asparagus with lemon, tomato gazpacho, pea and parsley soup, roast squash wedges, baba ganoush, beetroot houmous, spinach pasties and barbecued corn on the cob.
With over 200 recipes and vibrant photography from Simon Wheeler, River Cottage Veg Every Day is a timely eulogy to the glorious green stuff.
For 65 years, Madame Romaine de Lyon ran a popular restaurant in
midtown New York that served only eggs. But not just any eggs Mme
de Lyon, was a master omelette chef. The walls of her restaurant
were covered with signed photos of famous customers, such as Joan
Rivers, Mary Tyler Moore, Anne Bancroft, and Mel Brooks (who wrote
the screenplay for "The Producers" at his regular table in the back
of the restaurant).
Romaine's dedication to the perfect execution of the omelette
and her expertise at her craft, spread her reputation well beyond
New York City. Among the highest praise she received was from the
ultimate cooking authority: the great Julia Child. During the
omelette episode of "The French Chef," Julia holds up a copy of
"The Art of Cooking Omelettes" and recommends it to anyone
interested in cooking exquisite omelettes.
"The Art of Cooking Omelettes" is Madame Romaine de Lyon's
homage to the omelette and her life as a cook. It includes recipes
for over 500 omelettes instructions that make these culinary works
of art-the meals that made her restaurant so beloved-accessible to
everyone. But "The Art of Cooking Omelettes" is more than a simple
recipe book. It includes the charm and engaging stories of a master
chef who came to this country with nothing an built a renowned
restaurant. It is gem of a book for anyone interested in both fine
cooking and writing.
The word Risotto has become international. This book combines the

Italy. The areas where it is grown, the nutritional value of this
cereal, the harvesting, the utensils it should be cooked with, all
are explained, plus imaginative illustrations. The many different
varieties of rice and their uses are carefully presented.
Forage is a beautifully illustrated celebration of edible plants
that can be found throughout the world. Anybody can enjoy the

ingredients and cooking with wild plants is increasingly being
adopted by mainstream restaurants. Journeying through 50 globally
populated edible plants, Forage explores the culture and history of
our wild food. Stunning botanical illustrations by artist Rachel
Pedder-Smith accompany each plant, alongside recipes inspired by
the regions of the world where they are most celebrated.
