Reconnect with nature to feel happy and healthy. The Mayan Salad.
The Raw Chocolate Tart. The Forgotten Ecstasy Smoothie. These
delicious and creative offerings from London's revered Wild Food
Cafe have become classics for a new generation. Now their creators
are ready to share them with the world - as well as the natural,
seasonal philosophy that underpins them. Joel and Aiste Gazdar have
grown the Wild Food Cafe to become an oasis of nourishing
raw-centric plant-based food in the middle of the city: a beacon of
community, wellness and innovation. At the very heart of what they
do is playful learning inspired by time, elements, seasons and
nature. How might the energies of dawn inspire a light savoury meal
to wake up the senses? How can we use herbs in our daily routine to
keep calm and balanced? How can we create rich and intricate root
vegetable feasts to ground and support us in the darker, colder
days? From hearty one-pot stews, raw breads and sea vegetable
salads to super-food custards, probiotic tonics and iconic raw
desserts, as well as transformative well-being practices such as
wild water foraging and recapitulation meditation, this is a book
for anyone who wants to nourish their mind, body and heart.
The Middle East - from North Africa and Moorish Spain, through
Turkey, Lebanon, Syria and Jordan to Iran and the Arabian Peninsula
- has long had a vibrant tradition of home-style vegetarian
cuisine, from their abundant salads, dips and breads to delicious
and hearty main meals. Based on the freshest ingredients and cooked
from the heart, Greg and Lucy Malouf's recipes are designed to be
mixed and matched for sharing. With its stunning photography, New
Feast offers modern interpretations of Middle Eastern food with
more than 130 recipes inspired by the spirit of generosity that
characterises the region. While vegetables are the stars, the
recipes have variety with a selection of grains, legumes, couscous
and rice, plus breads, butters, dips and preserves, and even an
enticing assortment of fruit-focused ice creams, puddings, pastries
and cakes. Think Winter tabbouleh; Eggplant pilaf with yoghurt
& zhoug; Charred corncobs with almond-saffron butter; Spicy red
hummus and Orange baklava cigars. Now available in a compact
hardback, New Feast - one of eight books in the Maloufs' series of
highly acclaimed food and travel books - is a rich and diverse
compendium of vegetarian recipes with a Middle Eastern touch.
