This book is very close to my heart. It's about no-nonsense, simple cooking with great flavours all year round. When I began writing it, I didn't really know what recipes I would come up with, but something began to inspire me very quickly...my vegetable patch! I came to realise last year that it's not always about looking out at the wider world for inspiration. Being at home, feeling relaxed and open, can also offer this. I love to spend time at home in the village where I grew up, working with the boss, Mother Nature, in my garden and seeing all my beautiful veggies coming out of the ground. Inside, you'll find over 100 new recipes, plus some basic planting information and tips if you fancy having a go at getting your hands dirty as well!

Recipes include:

Eggy Breakfast Crumpets
Incredible Roasted Shoulder of Lamb with Smashed Veg and Greens
Really Very Delicious and Simple Lamb Tartare
Rhubarb and Custard Kinda Soufflé
English Onion Soup with Sage and Cheddar
The Quickest Tomato Sauce
Proper Chicken Caesar Salad
The Mothership Tomato Salad
Wild Mushroom and Venison Stroganoff for two lucky people
Cheeky Chilli-pepper Chutney
Superb Squash Soup with the best Parmesan croutons
Winter Crunch Salad with a mind-blowing sauce
