I often find that when following recipes it never quite meets expectation, always blaming it on the fact I cooked it and food always tasts better when someone else prepares it. Hugh's book has been the most used cook book on my shelf, I had to pack a charity bag for the other less/never used books. I am the only vegetarian in my household and as the main cook I always want to ensure that veggie meals are tasty for us all.
Hughs soup's have been a comfort throughout the winter, homemade pot noodles are still my favourite for quick work recipes, his bread dough recipes works a treat every time and we always make our own pizza bases without fail. The dough goes a long way. The caponata recipes is lovely. These are the recipes off the top of my head but I love this book as it is wholesome, hearty, rustic cooking, right up my street and most likely to have the ingredients in my cupboard which make it so much easier when looking for spontaneous inspiration for a dinner idea.
I used to be the veggie that would hate being near meat or anyone eating meat so Hugh took a while to grow on me as his meat prepatations appeared quite brutal at face value however over time I have grown to love what he stands for so when he decided to do the everyday veg series I knew I would love it.
I have a family I want them to make their own decision in the future about whether or not they want to eat meat. So I do prepare meat for them a few times a week, what a turn around, and thanks to inspiration from Hugh's programmes I know the best meats to source and the importance of the ethics surrounding the life and death of the animal providing the meat...But I am still veggie so this book is for me and I love it, I am so pleased he wrote this book.

Great Book
This book has genuinely made a vegetable lover of a dedicated vegetable hater. The recipies are simple, easy to follow and do not contain loads of ingredients that I never heard of and are hard to find. I had been borrowing this book to photocopy recipies until I decided to get a copy of my own. Best cook book ever, loving my dinners.
