veg James McIntosh Review

If my mum saw me writing a feature about vegetables and my love of them, she would possibly fall off the chair she was seated on. As a child I point blank refused to eat anything that looked, was called or even I believed was a vegetable.

Now I adore the taste and versatility of my greens (plus oranges and purples) and due to a rather fabulous win a while ago of a years organic veg box, I had the opportunity to try new ones and some old favourites.

I recently reviewed cake by James McIntosh read here and loved the fact that its a little pocket book and as I flicked through the recipes just seem so easy, I commented then was not sure if the compact book made it appear easy

and happily the results of my cake making were simple and more importantly tasty.

veg is the same style min book, 50 recipes all with James giving tips and ideas.

I loved the Lyonnaise vegetables which he says is normally a word associated with potatoes like boulangere and dauphinoise (seen below)and asks whats the difference?
