Eleanor's unique approach to food styling and photography showcases the simplicity of her food in a natural, down-to-earth style that is fresh and inspiring. As the creator of the hugely successful blog Petite Kitchen, she willingly confesses to being hopelessly in love with every aspect of food: where it comes from, how it's grown, its health benefits and how to make it taste amazing. In her second book, Eleanor presents over 100 wonderfully simple, nourishing and wholesome recipes that can be enjoyed by the whole family. She takes some classic family favourites and adds her own wholesome, creative twist, keeping it really simple, and using plenty of herbs and aromatic flavours for scrumptious taste combinations. The five chapters of this, her second recipe book, take you through the day - from healthy, satisfying breakfasts like Brilliantly rustic seed and nut loaf, Sweet almond crepes with ricotta and honey-grilled stone fruit, Delicate chamomile muffins, Omelette with gruyere, red onion and fig jam; through to lunch box stars Crispy almond-coated chicken nuggets with homemade tomato sauce, Simple savoury muffins, Incredible vegan choc chunk cookies; family suppers of Jamaican jerk chicken, Quinoa pilaf with peas, mint and parmesan and after-dinner treats of Raw fig tarts with milk chocolate ganache, Salted banana butter caramel mousse. Each recipe contains unprocessed, natural ingredients, and has very few steps, resulting in dishes that are uncomplicated, quick to prepare, yet delightfully delicious.
