Representaion Concering Books River Cottage Veg Every Day! (River Cottage Every Day)
"Call me power-crazed, but I'm trying to change your life here. The object of the exercise is to persuade you to eat more vegetables. Many more vegetables. And I hope to do so not by shouting from a soapbox, but through sheer temptation..."Why don't we eat more veg? They're healthy, cost-effective and, above all, delicious. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall believes that it is time to put this to rights. He's come up with an abundance of veg-tastic recipes, including a couscous salad with herbs and walnuts, lemony guacamole, linguine with mint and almond pesto and tomatoes, baby carrots and broad bean risotto, new potato gnocchi, a summer stir-fry with egg-fried rice, a winter stir-fry with Chinese five-spice, a tomato, thyme and goat's cheese tart, a spring onion galette, roasted new potatoes with harissa, curried bubble and squeak, pea and parsley soup, quinoa with leeks and squash, baba ganoush, beetroot and walnut hummus, and spinach and new potato curry...
With more than two hundred recipes, River Cottage Veg Every Day! is a timely eulogy to the glorious green stuff.

Interesting vegetable cookbook that is written by a well known "carnivore" chef. His most famous cookbook to date being "The River Cottage MEAT book" (as far as I know).So even though all the recipes included are meatless, it didn't necessarily "shout out" vegetarian cookbook to me at first glance.What I did love about this cookbook aside from the many beautiful illustrations was the simplicity of the majority of the dishes while still sounding equally delicious and worthy of a main entree .I wasnt expecting great things from this book, and in fact I nearly didnt pick it up. I doubt I would have if it was full price, but it was on sale for just £1 in a charity shop, and it was also part of a pile where they were selling two books for £1, too. Id already picked up one and so I figured, what the hell? It was basically free.Ive worked through a bunch of different vegan and vegetarian cookbooks of late, and not all of them have been good. This one has probably been the best of all of
I'm not quite sure how to review this book - I don't think I'm its target audience.Ever since The River Cottage Meat Book came out I've been waiting for the River Cottage Veg Book. This isn't it and I don't think we'll ever have one now, however much it may have been hinted at in that tome. Things change and Hugh's moved on since then. His new output is clearly aimed at a very different audience to that which bought into the Meat Book, The River Cottage Year and The River Cottage Cookbook
It seems vegetable books/columns written by non-vegetarians appeal to me. Ottolenghi's vegetable recipes are terrific and this book is more along those lines. This book's recipes in general have fewer exotic ingredients and are simpler both in flavour and preparation.I'm not a fan of bean-heavy dishes and things that are supposed to mimic meat but don't even come close. I'd rather celebrate the joy of vegetables than attempt to replace meat. I love vegetables and there are very few vegetables
I write this review as a meat eater and have to say that this is an excellent book. Some of these recipes have become staples in our house, particularly Vegeree and the Mushroom and Kale lasagne both of which are delicious and both quick and easy to make (and affordable too!). The meals are complete meals and you don't find yourself looking for the meat at all.
As a carnivore I love this book! It doesn't try to turn you into a vegetarian, or preach at you, it is just filled with delicious recipes that just happen to be vegetarian or even vegan! Easy to follow directions, simple ingredients and gorgeous pictures make this a "must have" cook book.
Although I started out as a fan of Hughs and a enthusiast about this series and book, I have since changed my mind. I think this series is all about making money and ticking boxes and I think the TV show comes across as misguided and confusing. As a vegetarian I really dont appreciate Hugh's disrespectful treatment of dead animals and the jovial nature him and his staff treat the death of these animals. Hugh is trying to get vegetarians onside whilst still being an avid meat eater. He claims to
