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.
The word Risotto has become international. This book combines the
culture and cuisine of this world-famous Italian dish. The first
half is dedicated to the history of rice and its tradition in
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
increasingly popular back-to-nature activity of foraging. In some
countries these plants are now forgotten as food, but in others
they are still celebrated for their value as nutritious, delicious
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.
