Geetie's principled approach to food permeates every recipe, delivering a practical guide to a better way of eating. --Great British Food
Product Description
When Geetie Singh opened her now-famous organic gastro pub in Islington, London experts in the trade said it would never work. That was 10 years ago - and last year the Duke of Cambridge in St Peter's Street was celebrating winning three ethical awards. It has received a Natural and Organic Award, in association with the Soil Association, for the Best Organic Restaurant and its 'unflinching commitment to the environment'. The judges were impressed by the pub's policy of using only produce that is in season, creating a twice-daily changing menu - with 80 per cent of fresh ingredients coming from the Home Counties. The Duke of Cambridge serves outstanding organic food made with seasonal local ingredients. It's hearty, rustic British food with Mediterranean influences. You won't find any fresh tomatoes on the menu in winter or parsnips in summer. The menu changes twice daily, showcasing ingredients according to what is at its peak of freshness and flavour. All the food is made at the pub - from the ice cream to the bread and pickles. Geetie Singh, proprietor of this award-winning establishment decided it was time to pass on a selection of recipes to over 150 of their specialities, and those collected here do not disappoint. Confit garlic and cream soup, Spicy carrot and parsley soup and White bean, mushroom and chorizo soup are highlights of the autumn soups section. Fish, meat and vegetables get a variety of treatments - grilled, baked, steamed or roasted - all procedures that intensify flavour. This is irresistible food. They take simple, everyday seasonal ingredients you can find available anywhere - beetroot, cabbage, garlic and chillies, and transform them into dishes that taste so much more than ordinary. There's a fresh take on everything and even though some recipes are little more than assembly, such as Blue cheese, chicory and walnut salad, they're great for new ideas. This book, illustrated with stylish photographs of the food, the cooks, waiting staff and customers is arranged into sections according to the season and will provide you with a year's worth of culinary inspiration.

Being lucky enough to dine at The Duke of Cambridge and enjoy its organic delights, I couldn't wait to receive my copy of the cook book. It has easy to follow steps and many options to create healthy, tasty meals for my family including my daughter who can be challenging at meal times. Simple creative food, with ingredients already in the cupboard or on easy to find shelves in the shops. Would thoroughly recommend to those looking to experience new ideas.Geetie's Cookbook: Recipes from the Duke of Cambridge Organic Pub

..has never been to the pub. I found this book in Blackwells and looked at it over coffee (Blackwell's in Oxford has the best coffee in Oxford - Cafe Nero).
The recipes looked fascinating and if a little challenging for an amateur cook all very doable. There were several that I noted I had to try. So a copy is now on order but I have seen enough to know that it will not be a purchase I will regret.
The back story about how the pub came into being is also very interesting - the personal commitment of the owners is impressive and has clearly produced a wonderful result.
Lucky inhabitants of - and visitors to - Islington!! I will be lunching at the restaurant on my next visit to London - which will be sooner than I had originally planned!

This is a beautiful cook book - lovely photographs and layout.
I was given the book because I love the Duke of Cambridge in Islington (not only great food but also a beautiful place to just hang out with a drink, I've been going for years) - and the book is as stylishly understated as the pub.
The recipes have been easy to follow and the results great. I'm a huge fan of the pub's starters and I was delighted to make my own organic chiken liver pate at home and get a fabulous result.
Buy this book for fantastic organic feasts at home!
