Since growing my own veg I have received countless vegetable based books for birthdays and christmas, none of which have provided such inspiration as this gem from Sarah Raven. Sarah provided delicious answers to my glut of courgettes and my unripened tomatoes of last summer which have now become firm family favourites. If your weekly vegetable box arrives with an alien like kohlrabi or an unedible looking salsify you are sure to find a recipe to tantalise your tastebuds and turn the um into yum. The book is split into chapters for the months of the year and then by the produce available allowing you to eat seasonally. Don't be put off thinking that this is a book just for veggies, there are plenty of carnivourous delights and her puddings are divine. This book is a fabulous present for any keen vegetable grower or anyone who buys into the seasonal ethos of eating.
