It’s a book that’s guaranteed to widen your vegetable horizons, and make you look at your farmer’s market food boxes in a whole new light. With dishes that include elements of fish and meat, it ticks all the flexitarian boxes, while placing brassicas, bulbs, stems, fungi, leaves, pods, roots, squashes and summer vegetables firmly centre stage. It’s a brilliant cookbook.’ – Paul Ainsworth
