Editorial Review:
This book is very close to my heart. It's about no-nonsense, simple cooking with great flavours all year round. When I began writing it, I didn't really know what recipes I would come up with, but something began to inspire me very quickly... my vegetable patch! I came to realise last year that it's not always about looking out at the wider world for inspiration. Being at home, feeling relaxed and open, can also offer this. I love to spend time at home in the village where I grew up, working with the boss, Mother Nature, in my garden and seeing all my beautiful veggies coming out of the ground. Inside, you'll find over 100 new recipes, plus some basic planting information and tips if you fancy having a go at getting your hands dirty as well! The fabulous new cookbook from the international bestseller ties in with his new Channel 4 series about no-nonsense, simple cooking inspired by growing your own vegetables.

I'm not a vegetarian, but even so there are recipes here aplenty that I would make. The real reason to buy this is for your FRIENDS... more info
The Good Life Starts Here! Having watched the excellent and informative TV series I decided to part with my cash and buy the book of the series. I have not been disappointed, the dishes I have tried taste wonderful, in particular potatoes and onions roasted in half a bottle of balsamic vinegar! Awesome! The combination of grow it then cook it works well. This is one of the most honest, unpretentious "celebrity" cook books you could find, full of easy recipes bursting with flavour. The book would make an excellent... more info
Great TV series, great book I think Mr.Oliver has hit on a real winning combination in his new TV series - great recipes combined with handy beginner-gardener hints, and THANK GOD nice calm camera work that doesn't leave you feeling seasick and smacking the channel-change button after two minutes! This book is a great companion to the series, even if you don't have endless supplies of your own line of (expensive!) pans, olive oil delivered to your door by the tanker-load, and your own wood-fired blast furnace in the garden :-) I... more info
