Jesse, or Another Day in Paradise, combines the fresh, casual approach of his Californian roots with shareable everyday cooking and brings the techniques and care to vegetables that we often associate with meat or fish, building up layers of flavour and achieving wonderful results whether you eat meat, fish or are plant based. Many of Jesse's recipes are vegetarian, and all are easily made vegetarian.
