River Cottage: Much More Veg

More about the book

The central aim is to make vegetables delicious and irresistible, offering easy, family-friendly recipes that encourage daily consumption of veggies. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's previous work became the UK's best-selling vegetable cookbook, inspiring many to prioritize vegetables in their cooking. In this eagerly awaited follow-up, Hugh presents more enticing recipes while emphasizing that plant foods should dominate our kitchens. He sets aside cheese, butter, cream, eggs, and refined sugars, focusing instead on vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, seeds, spices, and cold-pressed oils. This approach showcases the potential of natural, unprocessed plant foods as the foundation for healthy meals. The recipes are straightforward, foolproof, and delicious, with most being gluten-free and many requiring just 20 minutes or less of hands-on time. Dishes like Roast squash and chickpeas with spicy apricot sauce, Blackened cauliflower with pecans and tahini, and Spiced beetroot, radicchio, and orange traybake highlight how easy it is to incorporate versatile and plentiful vegetables into your diet, making them the cornerstone of nutritious meals.
