Title: Books, River Cottage Veg Everyday HFW
Post by: Ruth Rocket on January 08, 2012, 12:51:55: I was given this book for Xmas and have cooked 3 recipes from it this week already, it is a really good cook book for veg lovers!
Is there a place to recommend books on this forum? I had a look but couldn't find one, I would love to see other people's favourite books x

My OH is going to use it for the one night a month he's in charge of the kitchen including the planning and shopping so can't be bad.

Got it for x-mas and have tried a few things so far, all of which did actually end up looking like the lovely photos and tasting as good as hoped! I have finally got the wife to commit to veggy meals a couple of times a week with the help of this book, result. This will be a permanent fixture in our kitchen.
