What to Eat Now Spring Summer

In "What to Eat Now - More Please!", Valentine Warner explores the ingredients and flavours of Spring and Summer food. Eating seasonally ties in with the zeitgeist of contemporary society and, with Valentine as our guide, we can explore the bounty of our natural larder. Containing over 100 delicious recipes that are simple to recreate at home, "What to Eat Now - More Please!" is the ideal companion to how we should be cooking today. When we follow the seasons, our food has the most flavour and goodness and, by eating native ingredients, food miles are lowered and we do the least possible harm to our world. Valentine has been described by many as the new Jamie Oliver - like Jamie, he shares an intense passion and enthusiasm for food and, like Jamie, he is destined to change the way a whole generation think about what they eat.

Valentine Warner is a culinary adventurer with a passion for food, nature and the seasons. After a stint at art college, he dropped the paint brush and picked up a spoon. He then spent five years working under chefs such as Alastair Little and Rose Carrarini before setting up a private catering company. In September 2008 Valentine appeared on our TV screens with his first series What to Eat Now, which saw him seeking out the best food and dishes that Autumn has to offer. A second series in July and August 2009 saw Valentine concentrating on Summer's seasonal bounty. Valentine writes a monthly column for Olive magazine and has written for The Times, The Independent, Waitrose Food Illustrated and more. A self-confessed fidget, Valentine always finds a cure for his restlessness at home in the kitchen.
