Product Description
'Leon: Naturally Fast Food. Book 2'
is again a book of two halves. The first half is 'Fast Food', which contains recipes for every occasion that take a maximum of 20 minutes to prepare: from a work day breakfast and children's meals to simple suppers and party food. The second half is 'Slow Fast Food' which contains things that can be made in advance when you have time, to enjoy when you don't have time. There is plenty in both halves for both the experienced cook and the culinary adventurer in search of inspiration.

About the Author
Leon was founded on the twin principles that food can both Taste Good and Do You Good. When Henry Dimbleby, John Vincent and Allegra McEvedy opened their first restaurant, on London's Carnaby Street in July 2004, their aim was to change the face of fast food. Six months after opening, Leon was named the Best New Restaurant in Great Britain at the Observer Food Monthly Awards (by a judging panel that included Rick Stein, Gordon Ramsay, Nigel Slater, Heston Blumenthal, Ruth Rogers and Jay Rayner). There are now nine restaurants serving over 50,000 people a week.

Big on Novelty/ Gimmicks but Still Great Recipes,
This review is from: Leon: Naturally Fast Food. Book 2 (Hardcover)
I too was excited at the prospect of a second Leon book: I think many will be. So I raced to pre-order and was initially a little over-whelmed by the zany lay-out. They've taken it to the extreme here and not a colour, novelty slogan or typeface has been spared us. I felt the actual recipes were a little lost amongst all this. However, I cracked on with getting cooking (the turnip and prune pork belly pot roast) was not disappointed. Best pork belly recipe I think I've ever tried: wonderful aromatic flavours with melt-in-your mouth meat. Perfect for an early autumn evening...mmmmWhat I love about the Leon brand is literally every recipe I try turns out great: I think they are masters of delicious, (relatively) healthy, modern, of-the-moment cooking. I still don't think we need quite as many little novelties, though....or a section on how to jazz-up shop-bought ice-cream :)

As good as the first, if not better,

This review is from: Leon: Naturally Fast Food. Book 2 (Hardcover)
Living in the north, I don't very get to visit Leon very often, so I was really excited at the thought of a new cookbook to expand my range of homecooked Leon dishes. After a rare visit to London last weekend I was hoping for the recipe for green sunshine salad - and yes its in there. The book is split in to two main parts, "fast food" and "slow fast food", the latter section being recipes are still simple to prepare but may take longer to cook, but that cooking time means you can sit down and relax. On flicking it looks like there are more recipes in the second book, I just don't know where to start:- "Coconut Chicken & petit pois curry", "Persian Onion Soup", "Leeks Viniagrette", "carrots & Beetroots with Toasted Almonds" ..... there's even a recipe so you can make your own salami ! Was hoping that the recipe for the leon pecan pie was in there, but I guess I'll have to wait for the third book. Can't wait to get into the kitchen.

Splatter marks = love !,
This review is from: Leon: Naturally Fast Food. Book 2 (Hardcover)
I have literally hundreds of cookbooks, have taken many courses and even cooked commercially for a time. But I can safely say that I've never made so many things out of a single book since 'How to Eat' was published. Everything has been delicious and I can recommend the 'Turkey Bolognese' as a way of cutting down the amount of red meat we eat without compromising on taste or flavour. Two favourites spring to mind: 'Burmese Cabbage' which I often make when it's just me and I want to stuff myself without too many calories and the 'Moroccan Chricken with Olives and Lemon'. This is not only superb (my Mum's second favourite dish !) but has gone down in family lore as the dish that, when served to my husband, his verdict was "that was great but you should really try to make the chicken with olives and lemon dish we had in Morocco"! Luckily this was good enough that I've made it many times again despite the helpful comments.
