Product Description

Synopsis

A cooking manual written by Jacqui Jones and Joan Wilmot has won the backing of the prestigious Soil Association, who has written the foreword. The Boxing Clever Cookbook is a cookbook with a difference. More than a recipe book, it is a manual for the cook of the house who is sometimes faced with an abundance of one type of vegetable or another at certain times of the year. Based on the UK's biggest CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) scheme, the Moray-based EarthShare, the Boxing Clever Cookbook will help anyone make the most of what vegetables they've got. The sudden abundance could come from the kitchen garden, a 'kindly' neighbour who has overdone the parsnip seeds that year, or a vegetable box scheme. Located near the Moray Firth in Scotland, EarthShare, the largest and oldest CSA scheme in the UK, operates such a vegetable box scheme, whereby subscribers pay a fixed sum to receive a box full of fresh, organic vegetables once a week. Only for some the box is a bit too full of vegetables such as curly kale, swede, cabbage, beetroot, or even Brussels sprouts. What to do with these 'difficult' vegetables provided the impetus for the Boxing Clever Cookbook. Co-authors and publishers are Jacqui Jones, a former teacher-turned-writer, and psychotherapist Joan Wilmot. The pair have pooled their experiences of box schemes - and life - to come up with a survival guide to fresh vegetables without furtive composting. The book is packed with over 360 recipes for the 12 months of the year, or twelve recipe books in one. It includes a handy table showing when each vegetable is in season - giving an indication of what to expect in your vegetable delivery. It also includes monthly a farming news round-up which is incredibly informative and increases understanding of how and why the food reaches you when it does, and why the delicate balance of food production does not subscribe to the consumer mantra of "I want it now".

5.0 out of 5 stars The most useful cookbook on my shelf, 31 May 2006
By R. Langley - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great book, giving easy, healthy, and quick everyday recipes using a few common ingredients at a time. The beetroot pesto and carrot pate are delicious - I haven't had to throw away any unused vegetables at the end of the week since I've had it. I've cooked from it every week since, and haven't been disappointed once. Ideal for providing new ideas on how to cook the seasonal vegetables in a veg. box - loads of recipes on what to do with parsnips, cabbage, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great ideas!, 27 Oct 2008
I agree with the previous reviewer, this is such a great book if you are looking for ideas as to what to do with your veggie box. The Abel and Cole cookbook is more pleasant to flick through (lovely photos...) but there are many more ideas for every day cooking here.
Definitely useful to free anyone from the "Curse of the Veggie Box" (ie:throwing away vegetables/fruit you haven't used while at their best, thereby ruining the whole concept of the organic box)
The authors mention their intention to add more international ideas to a later edition, please don't! Just write another book with as many lovely ideas as this one, that will give me an excuse to buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful and well organised, 31 Jan 2009
By I. Jones (Milton Keynes, Bucks, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Excellent book providing useful recipes for the mystery veg from box schemes.
Just flicking through throws up recipes that you'll want to try.

The ordering of recipes by month doesn't seem to match the veg as they come through in our box scheme... but the index helps with the differences.
