Yvette Van Boven - Home Made http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1...ls_o02_s00_i01

I've just received Home Made and I love it. Plenty of recipes suitable for a veggie and such a delightfully presented book, too. Can't wait to try a few....and I've ordered Home Made Winter as well.

Btw, I notice you've recommended Dennis Cotter. I've got one of his Cafe Paradiso books; his recipes are wonderful and I'd love to eat at his restaurant...

I'm pleased you like the Home Made book PixieGray. They're lovely coffee table books just to flick through and admire the photography and hand drawn illustrations. Thankfully the recipes are lovely too

Don't forget that Home Made Summer is released on April the 2nd - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Home-Made-Su...1634339&sr=1-1

Just need to mention a wonderful book I took possession of last week: its called 'Roots' by Diane Morgan

Basically, the clue is in the title. The book tackles root vegetables, offering each root as a chapter with information regarding history, lore availabilty, preparation and so on, preceding the recipes (well over 200). From the standard Carrot, Potato, Artichoke and Turnip to the more unusual Andean Tuber, Crosne, Arrowhead and Rutabaga, this book covers root vegetables within a creative, seductive and highly tempting array of recipes.

Morgan also delivers chapters on herb/spice roots such as Ginger, Parsley, Galangal and Wasabi.

It's fab and a little unusual

Sadly, there aren't any reviews on Amazon, but I happened upon this book on some American foodie blog and the reviews were amazing. Unfortunately, I can't remember where I found it!!
