More about this book
Fearnley-Whittingstall explains in his introduction why he decided to cook with vegetables at the heart of every meal: for health, for the planet and above all for flavor. He does not ask readers to give up meat completely; instead he wants vegetables to stop being side dishes. The book was first published in Britain as River Cottage Veg Every Day, where it won best cookbook at the Observer Food Monthly Awards, and it accompanied a television series.
The recipes are arranged by type of meal rather than by vegetable, with chapters such as comfort food, hearty salads, soups, bread-based dishes, pantry suppers and raw dishes. Dishes come from many cuisines, including North African chachouka, Spanish patatas bravas, Mexican tomato and bean soup, and a kale and mushroom lasagna. Most use ingredients from an ordinary shop or garden, and instructions are clear and relaxed, with suggestions for swapping ingredients by season. The photographs by Simon Wheeler make almost every recipe tempting.
Warm, practical and inspiring for everyday cooking, whether you are vegetarian or simply curious. About 416 pages in the US hardcover edition.
