Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall joins Simon to talk about 'River Cottage Much More Veg', his follow up to the UK's bestselling meat-free cookbook 'River Cottage Veg Every Day!'.

In this brand new volume, Hugh delivers many more irresistible recipes - and this time takes things one step further. Fuelled by his passionate belief that plant foods should be the dominant force in our kitchens, Hugh has put cheese, butter, cream and eggs, refined flours, pasta and bread firmly to one side. Instead, he plunders the plant kingdom, using veg, fruit, grains, nuts, seeds, herbs, spices and cold-pressed oils to produce delicious, satisfying, life-enhancing dishes. River Cottage Much More Veg! argues that fresh, vibrant plant ingredients are the very best building blocks for hearty and healthy meals.

With recipes such as Summer veg coconut curry, Pepper, potato and chard stew, Tomato dhal, Seared summer cabbage with rosemary, Fennel with melon and basil, Pea spelt-risotto with lemon and hazelnuts and Raw carrot and apricot breakfast bars, River Cottage Much More Veg! demonstrates how easy it is to make versatile, plentiful and delicious vegetables the bedrock of your diet. Many of the recipes are gluten-free and vegan, and Hugh says the dishes are easy and hands-on work time is kept to a minimum.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is a writer, broadcaster and campaigner. His River Cottage books have collected multiple awards including the Andre Simon Food Book of the Year, while the hugely influential Fish Fight series earned him a BAFTA as well as awards from Radio 4, the Observer and the Guild of Food Writers.
