It Starts with Veg : 100 Seasonal Suppers and Sides

When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. But what if life presents you with a stick of rhubarb, a kohlrabi, or a cabbage? What culinary creation do you whip up then? This book is here to guide you through that conundrum.

Chef and food educator Ceri Jones offers you 100 straightforward and delectable seasonal recipes, suitable for all occasions. Exploring 40 different vegetables, ranging from the humble potato to the more obscure celeriac, Ceri demonstrates the optimal preparation methods, the most palatable flavour combinations, and provides two or three recipes for a simple supper or side dish for each vegetable.

The book is organised by vegetable families, such as brassicas, fungi, pods, and leaves. For each recipe, Ceri provides options to swap out one vegetable for another within its family – allowing for variety and reducing the need to purchase additional ingredients, enabling you to utilise what you already have in your pantry.

The recipes are crafted to serve two people and are easily scalable if you wish to cook for more – designed to grace your table with minimal fuss. While vegetables take centre stage, the recipes also incorporate seasonal fruits, fresh herbs, whole grains, legumes, a modest amount of meat, fish and seafood, dairy, and spices. This book celebrates seasonality, produce, sustainability, and, of course, consuming more vegetables. Quite simply, your approach to cooking vegetables and your recipe repertoire will be transformed.

Among the mouth-watering recipes featured in the book are: Kale and Walnut Pesto Green Lasagne; Kohlrabi Carpaccio with Avocado, Blood Orange and Chilli; Leek, Roasted Pepper and Cheese Toasties; and a Leftover Roasties, Herb and Gruyère Frittata.
