Book review - What to eat now: more please! by Valentine Warner...


By Anula's Kitchen (Visit website)



I already reviewed Val's first book 'What to eat now' - which explored all the goodies from autumn and winter time. This is the second part - all about ingredients and flavours of spring and summer - ?This is not a time for the slow, sturdy dishes of autumn and winter? as Val says. He promotes seasonal eating - which is cheap, flavoursome, fresh and healthy too. After reading it I was so mad that I don't have my own little garden with all those fresh veges, herbs within my arm's reach... The book contains over 100 recipes - as for now I've tried maybe only 3... I know I'm bad...
This book may change they way you shop and cook. You will look at the labels more than you used to - no more asparagus from Peru when you live in Ireland and so on. Val is a very enthusiastic cook and a simple one. His dishes aren't complicated, don't involve many hard to get ingredients and most of them aren't labour intensive. Divided into simple chapters such as Fish Dishes, Eggs & Cheese, Flowers & a Drop of Honey and many more - 'What to Eat Now: More Please!' is a bouncily enthusiastic tour of seasonal food.
As spring is on it's way I'm sure I will go back to this book (I already read it from cover to cover - as it's more than a cook book, it's a great reading for the evenings).
