The Tomato Book - Gail Harland and Sofia Larrinua-Craxton
You certainly can't complain you don't know what you're getting when you buy this book - it does exactly what it says on the cover. The pleasures of choosing, growing and cooking the little red devils is what this book is all about.
The Seasoned Vegetarian – Simon Rimmer
Some people are calling him the vegetarian Jamie Oliver which is a bit of an insult in my eyes – Simon is far better than that. The comparison comes from Simon’s fondness for big flavours on a plate, no mincing about and a bit of chucking it in. His restaurant Greens is an award winning place and looking at and tasting these recipes you can see why.
Bill Granger - Feed me now
Not everyone over here knows of Bill Granger, in his native Australia however he is as big as Jamie but a lot more likeable. He abandoned art school at 22, opened a restaurant in Sydney and became famous when his scrambled eggs so impressed a New York journalist that within a short time he was writing books and appearing on TV.
