John Tovey's A Feast of Vegetables was first published in 1985. He was proprietor of the famous Miller Howe hotel in Windemere, The Lake District, where vegetables - immaculately and imaginatively cooked - were always given pride of place. Much appreciated by Miller Howe's guests, vegetables were never regarded as an afterthought to the dishes they accompanied. A Feast of Vegetables is an easily-consulted alphabet of 200 recipes for all kinds of vegetables - starters, accompaniments and main courses, from cabbage cooked in cider, and courgettes with marsala, to leeks in a cheese pastry, and spinach fried with chopped walnuts. The delicious, healthy soups are an especially rewarding source of inspiration.

Each title will be handsomely presented as a gift book for the keen amateur cook and lover of food literature. Each title has been selected for the highest quality of the writing, not just the recipes, although all the recipes are superb. This series will become the ultimate library for lovers of great food and food literature. "A Kitchen in Corfu" is an entrancing memoir of a foreign couple's sojourn in the remote village of Loutses, on the higher slope of Mount Pantokrator in north-east Corfu. They describe their charming encounters with the villagers, who were never shy to share their time-honoured recipes. This is a cuisine that chimes with the times, using locally-pressed olive oil from the village's own orchards, foraged wild ingredients such as herbs, shoots and greens, mushrooms, and other locally-picked delicacies.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. For many years James Chatto and his wife, Wendy Martin, made their home in the remote village of Loutses, an olive-farming community in the north-east of Corfu. The chapters follow the framework of landscape: the hills and sea, the olive groves and vineyards, orchards and vegetable gardens where the villagers hunt and grow their food. Over the centuries culinary influences from all over the Mediterranean have been absorbed and freely adapted to suit the extraordinary variety of produce that grows on this beautiful and very fertile island. This is a beautifully written book that explains the cultural and historical significance behind every ingredient and dish. Delicious recipes include artichokes in egg and lemon sauce, grilled wild duck and honey doughnuts. A memoir of a foreign couple's sojourn in the remote village of Loutses, on the higher slope of Mount Pantokrator in north-east Corfu. It describes their encounters with the villagers, who were never shy to share their time-honoured recipes.
