Format:Paperback
Wonderful vegetarian cooking, where the vegetable is the star. Not just another mixed veg plus sauce cookbook, these are more like restaurant fare, and more suitable for dinner parties than dinner for the kids at six. One word of warning: don't buy with Paradiso: Seasons. This is just Seasons excerpted.

Here is a chef who is unbelievably original and inventive with his food. Being a veggie for 15 years means I am tired of staples such as pasta with tomato sauce and spinach lasagne. Denis Cotter makes veggie cooking glamorous and exquisite with new combinations or completely new, original ingredients. The Spring and Summer Cooking section of Paradiso Seasons (yes, it is the same book but released in 2 volumes) bursts with asparagus, broad beans, courgettes, halloumi, rocket, tomatoes...readily available and always delicious ingredients, meaning you have no excuse not to make wonderfully original veggie meals to wow your guests with or just to treat yourself. No excuses either if you don't have a specialty delicatessen near you - most Sainsburys will stock everything you need. One exception might be the cheese - Denis does tend to use Irish cheeses which I have not seen anywhere in England (not even in the cheese shop down the road) but he always gives a suggestion for a more common cheese substitute. Everything I have tried from this book has been delicious and well worth the effort (yes, it is one of those books that do require a fair bit of time in the kitchen)... I just love the different ways Denis combines common ingredients to give you original and unexpected flavours.

Not necessarily better together
5 July 2006
Format:Paperback
A check on google.com reaches bibliocook.com, which indicates that the recipes in Paradiso Year: Autumn and Winter are selected from Paradiso Seasons. There is also a Spring and Summer version, also selected from Paradiso Seasons. The new covers are lovely, but if the recipes are the same, you probably won't want to buy Paradiso Year and Paradiso Seasons together. If the Paradiso books appeal to you, you might also like the cookbook from Cafe Flora, which looks wonderful, or Spice : Flavors of the Eastern Mediterranean, which is not vegetarian but has many inspirational vegetarian recipes.
