Cooking Outside the Box, 19 Sep 2006
This review is from: Cooking Outside the Box: Easy, Seasonal, Organic (The Abel & Cole Cookbook) (Hardcover)
I saw this book reviewed in the Sunday Times, and ordered it for a friend. I had to keep it. When I began to leaf through the recipes, I felt a strong urge to dust off the cooker & try some of the suggestions. Its full of original recipes, which have so far been fool-proof. I highly recommend this book, as a gift and a treat.

Refreshing addition to kitchen shelves, 22 Sep 2006
This review is from: Cooking Outside the Box: Easy, Seasonal, Organic (The Abel & Cole Cookbook) (Hardcover)
Brilliantly written with great recipes. Not only is the book full of great ideas but it's also a fun read for those with a sense of humour. Abel & Cole rightly deserve to be the frontrunners of the organic home delivery movement if Mr. Abel's creativity and passion for the product is anything to go by.

Countryside and coleslaw!, 30 Oct 2010
This review is from: Cooking Outside the Box: Easy, Seasonal, Organic (The Abel & Cole Cookbook) (Hardcover)
Beautifully photographed, this book is a pleasure to look at. More importantly, Keith Abel lets the reader into his world so that after finishing this book, you will be yearning for a farmhouse kitchen, a country walk and an organic vegetable box!
All the recipes are uncomplicated and unpretentious.Punchy Leeks and Goats' Cheese on Toast is as simple as it gets but very tasty. Equally easy is Baked Strawberries with Honey Whipped Cream - delicious!
These are clearly recipes which are part of the fabric of Abel family life. Try Lamb with Courgette, Lime and Ginger or Venison Sausages with Colcannon and Wild Mushroom Sauce. Both are straightforward recipes with great flavours, sufficiently different to make dinner more interesting.
If this has so far failed to win you over, this book is worth buying for the coleslaw recipe alone. As Keith Abel says, it will knock your socks off!
