Delicious food that just happens to have no meat or fish in it.
One of The Guardian's Best Food Books 2023
'I really love Joe Woodhouse's food' - Nigella Lawson
'Joe just makes the most delicious food that happens to have no meat or fish in it.'
- Rachel Roddy
'When Joe Woodhouse cooks then you know that something very, very good will result from much happy time spent in the kitchen. For such a modern cook, the flavours are deep, rich and magical. That there is no meat is happily forgotten here, for this is about great cooking.' - Jeremy Lee
'Joe's food always looks gorgeous and totally doable. A major plus is that the recipes in his books can often be made with ingredients you have at home.' - Diana Henry
Swapping just one meat dish for a plant-based one saves greenhouse gas emissions that are equivalent to the energy used to charge your phone for two years. In this new collection of recipes, a companion to the highly acclaimed Your Daily Veg, long-time vegetarian Joe Woodhouse celebrates everyday, seasonal vegetables in a fresh, modern way with dishes that always deliver on flavour and satisfaction. Focusing either on one core vegetable or a group of similar vegetables - including celeriac, beetroot and squash, tomatoes and fennel, mushrooms, onions and leeks, and beans, pulses and seeds - the recipes follow a simple format of short ingredients lists and easy-to-follow instructions.
Praise for Your Daily Veg:
'One of those cookbooks that you can tell will go into heavy rotation in your kitchen. Each chapter is given over to a different, common vegetable and how you can turn it into a satisfying and straightforward meal.' - Tim Lewis, Observer Food Monthly
Joe Woodhouse has been vegetarian since the age of 10, teaching himself how to cook. He later trained as a chef and spent years working in kitchens such as Vanilla Black and the Towpath CafA , as well as contributing to events with restaurants such as the Quality Chop house. Alongside being a chef, he is also a photographer, shooting with clients such as Soho Farmhouse, Belazu, Marmite, Asda, Hakkasan, and Coleman's. He is lauded amongst colleagues - including Anna Jones and Nigella Lawson - for being the best vegetarian chef in the business. His work has featured in publications such as The New Yorker, Bon AppA tit, Guardian, Observer, Metro, Evening Standard and Life & Thyme.
