Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

»en bok där man faktiskt vill laga allt.« SVDEn vegetarisk kokbok för alla måltider, det är vad Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall skapat. Här finns nästan 200 läckra vegetariska recept som hjälper oss att leva ett bättre liv samtidigt som vi gör en insats för miljön. Att äta grönt bidrar ju till en mer hållbar framtid. Här finns många goda och lättlagade recept, som mustiga grytor, läckra pajer, rejäla soppor, matiga sallader och dessutom många smårätter och röror som tillsammans bildar en hel måltid. Några exempel: kikärts-, mangold- och svampsoppa, aubergine- och böngryta, lasagne med squash och fänkål, purjofyllda pumpor med ost och timjan och kålrots- och potatispiroger. Recepten är vegetariska men passar alla som vill äta nyttigare. Grundtanken är att ta vara på säsongens råvaror och allt ska naturligtvis vara ekologiskt och närodlad. ”Vi i västerlandet äter alldeles för mycket kött – för mycket för vår egen hälsa och alldeles för mycket för välbefinnandet för de många miljoner djur som föds upp för att bli mat. För mig är industriellt jordbruk helt enkelt fel – miljömässigt och etiskt”, skriver författaren i bokens inledning.

More than just a cookbook, this beautifully produced volume in three parts promotes a total understanding of British fish, from their natural habitats to what sauce they go best and how to respect their sustainability, in keeping with the River Cottage ethos. The first part is dedicated to understanding fish - Hugh and Nick explain the ins and outs of procuring a good fish, discussing fish farming, aquaculture, sustainability and harvesting issues, how to buy and catch fish in an ethical way, and how to prepare it for the kitchen. Next they open up a whole world of fish cooking - pickling, salting, barbecuing, frying, potting, stewing, smoking and more are explained in depth, each technique followed by classic recipes from gravadlax to kedgeree, from sashimi to chip shop battered cod. Finally, Hugh and Nick present Britain's best fish by species, giving portraits with notes on seasonality and ecology, as well as listing the relevant recipes from part 2 with alternatives. With a new introduction from Hugh, The River Cottage Fish Book is the only book on fish that the adventurous fish lover will ever need.
