I bought this one recently

Thug Kitchen: Eat Like You Give a F**k: Amazon.co.uk: Thug Kitchen: 8601421478144: Books

Now I just need to start cooking from then more, rather then looking for more and more extravagant ways to cook meat.

LOVE Thug kitchen... also a great website/blog

This probably deserves a mention for something a bit more interesting/unusual and a way to use up those spare pommegranites you have lying around
Plenty: Amazon.co.uk: Yotam Ottolenghi: 9780091933685: Books

I've just discovered he's done a 'Plenty More' too. Which, if I'd have known about a few weeks ago I would've requested for xmas
Plenty More: Amazon.co.uk: Yotam Ottolenghi: 9780091957155: Books

Plenty is another one I like - but it does tend to need quite a lot of ingredients and generally a good bit more time investment.

I've got their follow up book 'Thug Kitchen Party Grub' lots of interesting ideas in there. Tonight I tried the recipe for popcorn with rosemary infused caramel sauce which worked really well.

'Plenty' is great but 'Plenty More' comes across to me as if he's just cobbled together a few ideas. There's nothing as stand out, like the deep fried tofu or the pistachio couscous from the 1st book. Don't get me wrong we've looked for ideas but found it rather underwhelming.

I like the cauliflower cake in Plenty More - we've had some other nice meals from it but that's the one that springs to mind.

Stupidest, most ignorant post on Urban this year, quite an achievement.

Give it time. We're only two weeks in.

I got The Green Roasting Tin by Rukmini Iyer for Christmas, and enjoying the recipes so far. It's half veggie recipes and half vegan. They all just involve roasting in a tray.

 

[May Kasahara]

I got that one too, it's really good.

Meera Sodhi's new one 'Fresh India' is good (as are the others by her, which I've perused).

I know he’s not everyone’s cup of tea but Veg by Jamie Oliver is 99p on kindle today.

Another one who got The Green Roasting Tin. Does anyone else not understand p116 and the diagrams on next couple of pages?? I'm sure it's really obvious, but I'm struggling....how many thing's from each layer do you choose?
The rest of the book looks appetising.

There are some great recipes in there- a baby aubergine curry and a lovely Indian style chip butty.

Yes, I don't understand those diagrams either.

Massive bump!

My favourite ones are Hugh Fearnley Whittingstalls: River Cottage Veg Every Day!

And Cordon Vert by Colin Spencer, which lists the recipes as dinner parties including wine and cheese suggestions.

Cordon Vert: 52 Vegetarian Gourmet Dinner Party Menus: Amazon.co.uk: Spencer, Colin: 9780722526217: Books

The River Cottage book is great, we’re having this later.

I read it as ‘select one or more ingredients from each layer’.

Me too. In reality too many variables and no amounts. Strangely laid out and no guidelines/hints.
I still fancy trying her puddings version.

99p on Kindle today (12 Feb).

That's good. Some great recipes in there.
