Product Description
Product Description
Organic food is now widely avaliable - not just muddy potatoes but Japanese seaweed, chocolate and soy sauce! Ordinary modern recipe books don't take account of the different techniques required due to the more intense flavours of organic ingrediants and this book of quick and easy ingrediants, with a foreward by the Soil Association, brings busy people the possibility of enjoing wonderful flavours from the best of ingrediants. The modern organic cookery is stylish and delicious, with recipes here including fennel and lemongrass soup to squid in red wine, smoked duck with strawberry vinaigrette, broccoli and blue cheese souffles, tagine of lamb with couscous, and mango and lime ice cream. Sections include: why organic food really is different; satisfying soups; creative salads, starters and snacks; vegetarian dishes; fish; meat - lamb, beef and pork; poultry and game; baking - from bread to biscuits; and desserts. There are also sections on organic mail-order suppliers and the essential store cupboard.

My husband gave me this book as a present a few days ago. To be honest I have come across books on organic cooking before but I never thought that it was worth buying them unless I found that there were some recipes I wanted to try out, organic or not. To me what makes a recipe organic is simply the ingredients you use. The author explains that organic cooking is different because as the ingredients have a lot more taste you need less ingredients in a recipe. She almost convinced me but then, looking through the book I found out that actually the recipes in this book are recipes she collected during her trips, many of them classics! I am all for organic food and it does indeed taste a lot better! I am sure that it is a lot healthier too because who would choose to eat food laced with pesticides if they didn't need to? Probably no one, not even those who sell them! But the problem for me is that I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for better food only I would need to know that the food is indeed better and no one can guarantee me that, so often I don't bother! The only food I know is really organic is what comes from my own garden. I don't even trust the farmer around me completely because I am not there to see what they do!
This said this book has no photos and the recipes are very simple, maybe a bit too simple if you are not a beginner. I have marked a few I want to try but I will be honest, if I hadn't had it as a present no way I would have bought it! I have loads of very good recipe books! I also wonder how someone who is so much on good quality food destroys it by using the microwave.
