'A book with something for everyone.' Daily Telegraph 'Packed with homely recipes, the emphasis is on keeping things simple - but above all, delicious.'

Product Description
Veg is a delicious account of the wealth of vegetables grown in Britain today: how to choose them, prepare them and cook with them. As a passionate believer in buying veg locally in order to get the best quality, broadcaster, greengrocer and veg expert Gregg Wallace covers all the varieties that you're likely to want to eat. In "Veg", he describes the flavour and texture of every main variety of each vegetable included and identifies the pick of the bunch. Gregg encourages you to buy good local produce in season and helps you to distinguish between the freshest samples and their more tired counterparts. As well as instructions for cooking each vegetable to perfection in any way you can think of - from roasting, frying and grilling to boiling and steaming - there are over 120 delicious, easy, homely recipes covering every veg included in the book. Most of these dishes take no more than a few minutes to cook, proving beyond doubt that vegetables make the perfect healthy fast food.

This is a great book for widening your vegetable repertoire and knowledge. If you've ever seen a vegetable at the greengrocers or supermarket, been tempted to try it but wondered what on earth to do with it, this book will help. Concentrating on quality, each vegetable has an introductory section telling you how to check for freshness, different varieties and what they are best suited to, a basic guide to preparing and cooking the vegetable in various ways and a chart to show when it's in season. Gregg's passion for and knowledge of vegetables comes through and he's not afraid to give his opinion. Yellow peppers are "just silly" but he does explain why. And indeed, what is the point of baby sweetcorn? Following the intro section, each vegetable then gets a number of recipes, some quick and easy, some more elaborate but all seem achieveable. The ones tried so far turned out well and inspired us to try new vegetables. There is a good balance of vegetarian, side dish, meat and fish recipes and there's even the odd desert/cake thrown in. Lovely photography - not all the recipes are illustrated but the balance of photos to text is good. All in all, definitely worth buying to help break out of a frozen pea habit and achieve "five a day".
