About The Author

James & Martin, W.L. Chatto

John Tovey’s A Feast of Vegetables was first published in 1985. He was proprietor of the famous Miller Howe hotel in Windemere, The Lake District, where vegetables - immaculately and imaginatively cooked - were always given pride of place. Much appreciated by Miller Howe’s guests, vegetables were never regarded as an afterthought to the dishes they accompanied. A Feast of Vegetables is an easily-consulted alphabet of 200 recipes for all kinds of vegetables - starters, accompaniments and main courses, from cabbage cooked in cider, and courgettes with marsala, to leeks in a cheese pastry, and spinach fried with chopped walnuts. The delicious, healthy soups are an especially rewarding source of inspiration.
