Over 100 recipes for simple lunches, sides or dinners for two by chef Ceri Jones. Looking at 40 vegetables, she shows us the best flavour pairings, ways to prepare and cook the veg and easy swaps and substitutes, meaning you'll never again be stuck with wilting veg in the cupboard. Whether you've had a kohlrabi arrive in your veg box and don't have a clue what to do with it, or you have a glut of carrots, the bare minimum of spices and a sad onion in the cupboard, in this book, chef Ceri Jones provides easy and delicious recipes for all occasions as well as providing you with the know-how to flavour-match and understand different cooking techniques, meaning you maximise your veg box potential, every time. Ceri takes 40 vegetables and shows you the best ways to prepare them, the tastiest flavour pairings and two or three recipes for a simple supper or side dish for each. The book is divided into veg families, such as brassicas, fungi, pods and leaves, and with each recipe, Ceri provides options for vegetable that can be swapped out with another one in its family - allowing versatility and reducing the need to shop for more ingredients so that you can make use of what you already have at home. The recipes are easy to scale up if you want to cook for more people and are designed to get on the table with minimal fuss. While vegetables are the stars of the show, the recipes also include seasonal fruits, plenty of fresh herbs, whole grains, legumes, a little meat, fish and seafood, dairy and spices. This is a book that celebrates seasonality, produce, sustainability and, of course, eating more veg - approximately two-thirds of the dishes are vegetarian, with fish, seafood and meat making up the remainder.


Among the mouth-watering recipes in the book are Kale and Walnut Pesto Green Lasagne; Kohlrabi Carpaccio with Avocado, Blood Orange and Chilli; Leek, Roasted Pepper and Cheese Toasties; and a Leftover Roasties, Herb and Gruyère Frittata. Quite simply, your way of cooking veg and your recipe repertoire will be transformed. Gold title * With a strong focus on seasonal ingredients, sustainable eating, reducing waste and cost-saving, easy dinners, this book is perfect for anyone looking to expand their recipe repertoire and enjoy more vegan, vegetarian and flexitarian meals. * Consumers are more interested and aware than ever before about sustainability, including food miles and carbon footprints associated with what we are eating. Consumers are also looking to eat less meat and so are turning to vegetables to be the central point of meals, with tasty in-season and local vegetables often hitting this spot. * This year, UK supermarket Sainsbury's launched £2 fruit and vegetable boxes in an effort to reduce food waste, and allow customers to buy fresh produce at affordable prices as the cost of living crisis continues to rise - this book will be the perfect guide to making the most of vegetables, showing readers how to best bring out their flavour and nutritional benefits.
