Plant to Plate

‘ What I really like about Gaz is his combination of great cooking skills and an inspiring love of the vegetables he grows. ’ – Rick Stein A few years ago, at his rural home in the Welsh countryside, Gaz Oakley planted a kitchen garden with the aim of utilising plants to their full potential. Inspired by his thriving veg and fruit plot, the 100 vibrant and versatile recipes within this book celebrate the bountiful produce nature has to offer. Focusing on accessible ingredients like carrots, beetroot, cabbage, onions, tomatoes, apples and pears, Gaz has created a medley of seasonal, delicious dishes that showcase these crops at their best. With recipes including Strawberry and Lavender Welsh Cakes for a spin on a classic, savoury Stuffed Harissa Onions, and gorgeous Tomato, Thyme and Almond Upside Down Cake, there is something for every season and every taste. Revealing the beauty of the passing seasons and the magic feeling that comes alongside harvesting and cooking your own food, Plant to Plate will inspire you to make the most of fresh produce and perhaps take inspiration for your very own veg patch.
