This is food that’s good for you and for the planet, too.

 

Recipes include:

· Warm bashed pea dip;

· Spiced ‘baked’ beans on toast;

· Seared cauliflower and little gem salad

· Roast leek and potato gratin;

Alongside handy swaps and additions for most recipes, Hugh also shares his go-to list of store-cupboard essentials to amp up the flavour and pack in the fibre count for any dish. You’ll find these pages packed with simple suppers, easy lunches, soups, salads and much, much more.

 

With a focus on whole, unprocessed plants, these plant-forward recipes are thrifty, thoughtful dishes, but exciting and delicious too, proving that plant-based flavour is yours for the taking.
