For The Love of Food: Vegetarian Recipes from the Heart

by Denis Cotter (Author)

Synopsis

In this mouth-watering collection of inspired and delicious dishes, renowned chef Denis Cotter takes vegetarian cooking to a new level.

`No other book on vegetables in my library is so beautifully written or so thought-provoking. The recipes are intriguing and original but even if you never cook a single thing out of this book (which would be a crying shame), its worth buying for Denis's beautiful prose - you'll never think of vegetables in the same way again.' Darina Allen in the Irish Examiner on Wild Garlic

These recipes are designed to complement busy modern-day life and include ideas for mid-week bowl dishes and simple snacks as well as summer barbecue recipes and mouth-watering salads and risottos.

Denis is famous for his inventive approach and this collection will inspire cooks everywhere, no matter what your taste or skill level. For the Love of Food is an essential cookbook for vegetarians but will also appeal to non-vegetarians who enjoy flavour-packed food and new combinations. Full of simple and satisfying solutions, this is a book that you will turn to everyday.

These beautiful recipes are a joy to read.

Reviews for Wild Garlic;

`Not only the most gorgeous book title of the year, but also the most stylishly produced volume, and it's a cracking read too.' The Irish Times

`A cookbook to lust after.' Image Magazine

`Vegetarian cookery with delicious style.' BBC Good Food Magazine, January 08

`Whether you get a veg box every week or shop at your local supermarket, you can't fail to have noticed that the variety of veg on offer has increased markedly over the last couple of years. This is exactly the kind of book you need to make the most of them. Denis Cotter, owner of Cafe Paradiso in Cork, Eire, has a way with veg, and his passion for them really comes through. Celeriac fritters with caper and rosemary aioli were earthy and sweet and the aubergine and cime di rape (turnip tops) with chillies, feta, citrus and pomegranate is packed with flavour, with none of the gloom associated with salad in winter. We guarantee you won't even notice the lack of meat.' Book of the Month, Olive Magazine
