The U.K. is in a precarious situation at this very moment. Never has our nation been so confused about food yet ironically, never have we had so much food literally thrown into our faces, especially via the growing army of TV chefs. As somebody who teaches thousands of children how to eat everything in moderation, with emphasis on the fruit and vegetable, I feel I have a right to say I'm on the frontline. And it is scary.
What Charlotte Hume has done with this book is grab the very ethos of what food should be; simple, delicious, fun and less intimidating for children. An A-Z of vegetables with superb, easy to achieve and non-egotistical recipes, access for all. It really is that good.
If you are somebody with family, or you are somebody yourself, who seem to be for some reason scared of vegetables, or even if you are somebody who claims to know it all, please check out this book. For somebody at the end of their tether trying to get her son to eat vegetables, it proves that with a bit of time, patience and the passion to feed her family properly, it can be done no matter how high the obstacle. And now you can have access to the miracles that made it happen.
I cannot recommend it high enough. Absolutely bleedin' brilliant - well done!
