Root, Stem, Leaf, Flower is a cookbook about plants - it's about making
the most of the land's bounty in your everyday cooking.
Making small changes to the way we cook and eat can both lessen the
impact we have on the environment and dramatically improve our health
and wellbeing: good for us and for future generations to come. Making
plants and vegetables the focus of your meals can improve your cooking
exponentially - they provide a feast of flavors, colors and textures.
Root, Stem, Leaf, Flower is a true celebration of seasonal vegetables
and fruit, packed with simple and surprisingly quick vegetarian recipes.
With roots, we think of the crunch of carrots, celeriac, beetroot. From
springtime stems like our beloved asparagus and rhubarb, through leaves
of every hue (kale, radicchio, chard), when the blossoms become the
fruits of autumn - apples, pears, plums - the food year is marked by
growth, ripening and harvest.
With 120 original recipes, every dish captured by acclaimed photographer
Andrew Montgomery, and Gill's ideas for using the very best fresh
ingredients, Root, Stem, Leaf, Flower is a thoughtful, inspiring
collection of recipes that you'll want to come back to again and again.
