Greenfeast

The second in a pair of fast, season-led vegetable books from beloved author and cook Nigel Slater.

‘Much of my weekday eating contains neither meat nor fish … It is simply the way my eating has grown to be over the last few years.’

From the start of autumn, we crave food that nourishes, food that sets us up for going out in the cold and wet. Greenfeast offers over 110 gently sustaining recipes featuring ingredients like milk, mushrooms, and rice—comforting as a cashmere blanket—and big soups such as tahini, sesame, and butternut. There are also crumbles made with leeks, tomato, and pecorino. With puddings like ginger cake, cardamom, and maple syrup, these spirit-lifting recipes are a varied and glorious celebration of simple, plant-based cooking.

Highlights include:

Simple filo pastry filled with cheese and greens

A savoury tart of shallots, apples, and Parmesan

Soothing polenta with garlic and mushrooms

Fiery udon noodles with tomato and chillies

Creamy pudding rice with rosewater and apricots
