Book Overview: Simon has a good TV profile. Something for the Weekend averages 1 million viewers weekly and is the most successful show that BBC2 has ever had in the 10-11.30am timeslot on a Sunday. Simon's TV profile is set to expand with the commission of 52 additional episodes of the programme in May 2007. ITV1/Granada's Grub's Up is in its fourth series. Simon's vegetarian restaurant Greens has won the Manchester Food and Drink Award for Best Provision for Vegetarians in 2000, 2002 and 2006, and won their Restaurant of the Year Award in 2006. It also won a AA Rosette for Quality of Cooking in 2005 and 2006. The book will build upon the success of both The Accidental Vegetarian and The Rebel Cook. More than 100,000 people buy a veg box weekly or fortnightly in the UK. 5 per cent of the British population is vegetarian and 25 per cent of 11-14-year-olds are considering giving up meat.
