Product Description
One hundred brand new recipes from the bestselling fresh soup company
Book Description
The New Covent Garden Food Company was founded in 1988 to make homemade quality soup using entirely natural ingredients, and despite many imitators over the past eighteen years New Covent Garden are still the bestsellers in the fresh soup market. This enduring popularity is a result of New Covent Garden's continuous passion for fresh soup, which they expound as the ultimate, easy-to-make, healthy, delicious meal. Now back with their third book of soup recipes, New Covent Garden have even more new and exciting soups for us to try, from the exotically tangy to the comfortingly wholesome, and this time the recipes are sorted according to when their ingredients are seasonally available to ensure that they taste as fresh and vibrant as possible. Continuing the practical series-style format of a spiral-bound hardback together with the fun and approachable design and tone, this book is an essential addition to even the most reluctant chef's kitchen shelf.

Format:Hardcover
From a passionate company, whose employees obviously take their job very seriously, a useful selection of recipes where the more well-known, such as a simple 'Vegetable Stock', and 'Bouillabaise' mingle with the more intriguing 'Christmas Dinner Soup' or 'Love & Hearts'.
122 high quality pages, split over 8 chapters:-
* Larder Ingredients
* Simple Stocks
* Our Philosophy
* Autumn Recipes
* Winter Recipes
* Spring Recipes
* Summer Recipes
sandwiched between an introduction and a concise index.
Opening with the comment:-
'To those who believe the world can be put to rights with a simple bowl of soup..........Soup is easy, down-to-earth, one-pot cooking. It's friendly, too. The aroma draws people into the kitchen as casually as it calls them to the table. They come because soup is different every time: bubbling with winter comfort, ripe with summer growth, mellow with autumnal plenty, bursting with the vibrancy of spring............'
Simply presented with a cheery bright cover, one is drawn to the charming black and white illustration on page 8, introducing each member of the 'New Covent Garden Food Company', from the guy who 'tends to the kitchens' big soup saucepans', to the lady who 'does a bit of everything and keeps us on our toes' .......to the chap who 'does the figures', and gets the feeling that this is a 'homely' book which stands out from the crowd, purely by taking the making of a largely misunderstood dish - SOUP - so seriously.
'Our year - the soup-maker's year - starts in Autumn. That's when friends and families retreat to the kitchen, and root vegetables - the soup-cook's most dependable ingredient - come into season.........Autumn also marks the start of our recipe-testing cycle. Some we invent, some arrive by post or email from friends and strangers; some we adapt from foods we've seen on our travels; and some are from the army of cooks who rise to the annual challenge of our Student Chef and Create a Soup competitions.
This book contains recipes from all those sources. It represents the collective soup-fuelled wisdom of the wider New Covent Garden Food Company community - our chefs, our friends, our relatives, our suppliers, our supporters and our fellow cooks.'
Imagination quickly forgives the fact that the subtle colour opening plate which heads each season, along with the odd black and white drawing is all the 'illustration' that is really required in a book of this type.
Following on from 'casual' text (usually dedicated to a member of the staff relevant to the recipe) at the start of each recipe, is a clear ingredients list, cooking time and method.
A small taste of the delicious recipes contained within:-
* Parsnip, Apple & Chestnut
* Venison, Apple & Blackberry
* Beef, Ale & Wild Mushroom
* Leftover Soup
* Cullen Skink
* Duck & Pomegranate
* Russian Beef Borsch
* Wood Pigeon & Morel Mushroom
* Crab & Artichoke
* Haggis, Neeps & Tatties
* Broad Bean & Smoked Chicken
* Roasted Fennel & Somerset Cider
* Runner Bean & Braise Ham Broth

Format:Hardcover
I always find it hard to say which one of the three books I like most. Perhaps it's this one, because it contains my absolute favourite: "Apple, Vine Tomato & Smoked Bacon". This soup is just too yummy to describe. It may sound a bit strange (when I tried it for the first time, people asked why there were apples in a tomato soup), but the result is completely stunning. It's also the perfect soup for late summer, because then you're often swamped in both, tomatoes and apples. In fact, I make this soup whenever I feel like it, because you can get the ingredients around the year. Of course, there are many more delicious recipes in this book. It is split up into four main chapters (the seasons), which in turn are split up into the different months, making it easier for you to find something seasonal. Buy it - a great gift, too!

Every kitchen should have a copy of this book. With a wide range of choice for every season it has something for everyone. The 'Beef and Ale Soup' is absolutely delicious as are the other winter warmers, and I look forward to trying some of the summer recipes. I will definately be buying the other Covent Garden recipe books.
