About the Author
Back in 1999, Richard, Adam and Jon got a bit bored of the jobs they were doing. They realised they were leading unhealthy lives, always working late and eating rubbish food when they got home, watching too much telly. So after years of talking about starting a business, they put their money where their mouths were. They bought £500 worth of fruit, crushed it all up to make smoothies and sold them from a stall at a little music festival in London. Above the stall was a big sign saying 'Do you think we should give up our jobs to make these smoothies?' and put out a bin saying 'YES' and a bin saying 'NO'. At the end of the weekend the 'YES' bin was so full so they went in the next day and resigned. The following day, innocent was was set up.
Since then, we’ve gotten a bit bigger. There now around 200 odd people working at Fruit Towers, our smoothies are sold all over the UK, Ireland and Europe and we’re dabSincebling in vegetables through our veg pots, not to mention having the odd music festival, pop up café and village fete every now and then.
Despite having grown and started making more stuff, we’re still all about helping make being healthy that little bit easier and tastier. Which is why we wrote this recipe book. We believe that there’s nothing more important, nutritionally or socially, than getting everyone sat together at meal times, excited about the stuff that’s on their plate. Even better, we reckon that this book will have them clearing their plates, and maybe even helping with the washing up. Though we can’t guarantee that last bit.

Format:Hardcover
Finally a book with easy simple recipes for everyday use. I have struggled in the past with all my cooking books to find a recipe which was not only creative and different but also doesn't require to marinate and roast a leg of lamb for hours. This is the book! you don't need lots of fancy ingredients to make the recipes, and the illustrations are really fun to look at and read. The smoothies recipe are also gorgeous. Anna Jones with the Innocent team have definitely managed to produce a fun family cooking book. Anne Jones is the next-to-be star cook!

This is not just another generic recipe book.
It's really absolutely gorgeously designed throughout (though could do with more pictures of the ACTUAL food not just arty shots of the ingredients sometimes - though that's a minor point), and is packed full of interesting anecdotes. It's a comprehensive guide to food and eating and it includes things like diagrams of cows and pigs showing where the different joints of meat come from, and a guide to what veg is in season at what time of year. None of the recipes are tricky or impossible, and the ones I have tried have worked brilliantly. Having said that it's not a patronising beginners book, so even experienced cooks will enjoy it. I am completely inspired to cook from scratch every day now, I'm giving this book to friends as a present and I still (after spending hours poring over it) haven't read through all of it - seriously, a joy of a book and i cabn't recommend highly enough! well done innocent!

just cooked my first thing from the book - beetroot and chocolate brownies. so good the flatmate ate 4 when he got home from squash.
but better still was page 274 and the story of harrison, his toothbrush, the dragon, his rocket boots and the prawn army. fantastic. i would recommend buying the book simply for this story. yes, the recipes all look great, but its the filler bits, the bits you read while not even cooking or thinking of cooking that make this book what it is. and its unlike anything else you are going to buy.

Superb book
Really enjoyed this book. Not one recipe had ingredients I didn't have in stock.
Excellent recipes for healthy people. Even better for encouraging children to eat.
