Recently I came across Simon Bryant's new cookbook Vegies, and being a fan of his work with the wonderful Maggie Beer on The Cook and The Chef, I couldn't wait to flick through. Other than Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage Veg Everyday book, I've seen a number of books marketed under a vegetable guise and have been disappointed when I opened them up and found that whilst the recipes contain veg there is also a heavy reliance on meat for flavour. Simon's didn't do that at all and vegetables really are the star of his recipes.
