Fresh and Wild is the hippest and most successful organic
supermarket chain in the UK. Now organic cookery queen Ysanne
Spevack has joined forces with Fresh and Wild to bring us a book
packed with recipes using organic, healthy and adventurously
unusual ingredients. With 100 wholesome, tasty and easy-to-prepare
recipes, this book answers all your questions on unusual new and
trendy foodstuffs. From quinoa grain to wasabi, many foods in
delicatessens and organic supermarkets are unfamiliar to the
British cook. This book has been designed to unleash the adventurer
in all of us. Like Nigella's Domestic Goddess and The River Cottage
Cookbook, the recipes are accompanied by fascinating stories and
details - a real social, historical and geographical smorgasbord
for any food lover. The sort of recipe book which makes a great
armchair read. Contains tips useful to newcomers and committed
organic consumers alike, such as: - choosing produce for ideal
taste, according to appearance and texture - buying, storage and
preparation for tonight's meal and beyond
Why aren't we using vegetables in dessert? That seems obvious at
first - they're not as sweet as fruit. Until you remember that a
lot of fruits are quite tart to taste, and many veggies are quite
sweet. We all know there's a spectrum - every child knows that many
vegetables are really fruits, including avocados, tomatoes, peas,
sweetcorn, courgettes, and bell peppers. In this truly innovative
new baking book, Ysanne Spevack has made sure to include not only
veggies that are secretly fruits, but also veggies that are 100%
bona-fide vegetables, such as carrots, lettuce, spinach,
cauliflower and onions. Why conform to the norm, let's embrace the
strange and say yes to vegetables in unusual places! Vegetables are
delicious, and of course they can all be sweetened, either by being
marinated and mixed with something sweet (and healthy), or by
having their natural sugars caramelised - or both. Many vegetables
offer other plus points, like outrageous colours, or surprising
textures. Take beetroots - how could you turn down such a wonderful
colour? And lotus roots - the crunch and the shape is too
extraordinary to refuse! The gorgeous spiralling shapes of the
fiddlehead ferns make a tart of true artistry. And, of course,
there are the health benefits of eating more veg. Many people
struggle with ways to eat their recommended five (or more) a day,
and parents often worry about getting vegetables into their
children without a fight. Children are savvy to every trick to
smuggle vegetables into their dinner, and can find the evidence a
speck of green in a veggie burger within seconds. But give them a
cake with a big cauliflower inside, and the silliness of it gets a
foot in the door. The pure anarchy of putting soft leaves inside a
layer cake or loaf engages most people's sense of humour. Once
you're there, Godzilla Cake is a cinch! Other ideas are things of
pure beauty, whether cascading radish slices offering unexpected
juicy crispness to a pavlova, or swirls of purple radicchio
adorning a rich and creamy cheesecake. Widen your perspective and
enter into a brave new parallel world of possibilities. These
recipes may feature some of the most familiar ingredients in your
fridge, but in an enlightening and often entertaining way. Lastly,
but most importantly of all, the cakes, bakes, cookies and treats
are all absolutely wonderful to eat - which is Ysanne's aim, to
indulge in the pleasures of baking and eating, with a side helping
of health along the way.

are irresistible yet healthy desserts using nutritious ingredients;

gluten, lower dairy, vegan and paleo-friendly too. Ysanne's tried
and tested recipes don't simply replace sugar with chemical
substitutes, but use natural and unprocessed sweeteners. Satisfy
your sweet craving with gooey puddings, crumbly fruit pies, chilled
parfaits, creamy cheesecakes and cacao chocolate candies: here are
ideas for families, teatimes and dinner parties, and treats that
everyone will love. In Ysanne's words: 'The 'no-sugar' philosophy
of this book reflects the many reasons people want to cut out
refined sugar from their diets. Unlike many other no-sugar
cookbooks, the deeply researched introduction gives the reader the
keys to deciding which non-refined sugar ingredient to use, and
guides you in making your own informed choices about what to eat
for your own body, as there's no one-size-fits-all. For diabetics
there are still ingredients that will allow you to eat sweet things
- such as monk fruit, stevia, and glycerin. Maybe you're here
because low-calorie is what's important, or maybe it's for more
nutrients than refined sugar offers, or to protect your children's
teeth - you will learn how to eat for every different reason, and
every different body and budget. I hope you enjoy being empowered
by my book and creating delicious no-sugar cakes and cookies.'
