River Cottage Veg Every Day! is a timely eulogy to the glorious green stuff. We would all agree we all need to eat more veg! Veg is healthy, cost-effective and, above all, delicious. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall believes that it is time to put this to rights, as he explains in his brilliant new book.
Hugh has come up with over 200 recipes and vibrant photography, 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.
Each chapter is stacked full of recipes that will keep you going with something new for a while. In addition all recipes are achievable, relatively fast to cook and contain ingredients that can all be purchased locally rather than online. Hugh has outlined simple variations on the recipes and has thought about the practicalities of some recipes by suggesting them as simple healthy alternatives to the same old sandwich at lunch.
Sadly there was a fire River Cottage HQ which distroyed a barn that was being used for courses. Click here for more details.
