Greenfeast: Autumn, Winter - Nigel Slater

Autumn, Winter (Cloth-covered, flexible binding): The new Sunday Times bestselling seasonal vegetarian cookbook with delicious and healthy plant-based recipes

The second in a pair of fast, season-led vegetable books from beloved author and cook Nigel Slater.

'Much of my weekday eating contains neither meat nor fish … It is simply the way my eating has grown to be over the last few years.'

From the start of autumn, we crave food that nourishes, food that sets us up for going out in the cold and wet. Greenfeast has over 110 gently sustaining recipes from milk, mushrooms and rice – as comforting as a cashmere blanket – big soups like tahini, sesame and butternut and crumbles made with leeks, tomato and pecorino. With puddings like ginger cake, cardamom and maple syrup, these spirit-lifting recipes are a varied and glorious celebration of simple, plant-based cooking. Highlights include:

Simple filo pastry filled with cheese and greens
A savory tart of shallots, apples and Parmesan
Soothing polenta with garlic and mushrooms
Fiery udon noodles with tomato and chillies
Creamy pudding rice with rosewater and apricots
