Wendy – It’s a fab book for British veg. Got to agree. Enjoy!

My copy arrived today – it’s absolutely fantastic! And it’s great for all the variety of stuff I get in my veg box – for once, here’s a recipe book that uses all of them, and more. I can’t wait to get stuck in – so thank you SO MUCH for the recommendation! This is probably going to be my ‘best buy’ of 2008….

Aforkfulofspaghetti – Thank you! I adore the book the more I use it. The recipes can be quite fussy but I like that sometimes.

Glitznvixen – Thank you! Will post the watercress hummus recipe very soon.

All of your food looks soooooo yummy!!! I am such a big hummus fan-I think I might try my hand at that watercress variety!

Ah, thank you so much for doing this post. I’ve been wondering whether to buy the book on the strength of the amazon reviews – and now I have my answer! Oh, and your food looks terrific, too!

Peter – Haven’t heard of napa cabbage. Wonder if we call it something else… Will share recipe later in the week.

Phantom Chef – I worried about that too. The puree of watercress is stirred through at the end and the peppery flavour just gives the hummus a nice heat.

Sophie – Almost didn’t want this book as it looked TOO pretty. Like that Cloudberry Jam book. Beautiful but not terribly inspiring recipes.

Johanna – Wish that you could!

Pia – It is very pretty, isn’t it?

Deb – Recipe on its way. I’m sure you could get the book through Amazon.com if it’s not available in stores over there.

Lucy – Um, it’s not at the moment. It’s in hibernation. Will be planting again in Spring. The cabbage rolls were my favourite.

Pille – I need to work on my foraging skills… No idea what wild garlic looks like. Recipe on its way.

Valli – Gooseberries thorns are the worst!

David – Glad to oblige!

Thanks for introducing me to somebody else Wendy – this looks like a great book, the hummus looks stunning.

Cheers

Everything looks so good. The title reminds me of picking goodberries and blackberries in our back gardens as a child. We loved to do it but I think my mom didn’t want to be pricked by the thorns.

I love the book title (especially as I can pick wild garlic within a walking distance from the house). I’d be very keen on the watercress hummus recipe, too – it looks absolutely delicious!
