Reviews
High in fibre AND full of flavour. This joyous celebration of vegetables, and important lesson to eat more fibre, is something we all need in our lives
Super useful – and delicious
This book will change the way you think about fibre in the most delicious and enticing way
In Hugh's inimitable style, [this book] demonstrates just how simple it is to get the fibre we need - and what a delicious experience that can be. Focused on the most accessible of plant foods, the recipes here are simple and sustaining. Hugh's is a powerful message: eat more plants and you'll eat more of the fibre that is central to good health. This book, I know, will make that project a pleasure.
Only Hugh could take on a subject like fibre and transform it into something interesting, desirable and delicious
