We all love food. At Leon, they are fiercely passionate and proud of the food and drinks they serve in their restaurants. In this book, Allegra McEvedy shares the Leon principles of giving people a way to eat better, be happier and live longer in their first cookbook.
This is a book of two halves. The first half arms you with everything you need to know about the ingredients - the building blocks of any recipe. Leon only use ingredients that are seasonal, full of bold flavours and that do you good, so here discover their top 250 fruits, vegetables, fish, meats, dairy and dry foods. You ll find out what s in season, what contains important vitamins and minerals, what superfoods are, how Leon source their foods and where you can find them, too. In a nutshell you can learn everything you need to know about an ingredient before finding out some great ways to cook it.
The second half brings together everything Leon has learnt so far with more than 100 recipes for breakfasts, soups, salads, starters, sharers and sides, grills and sauces, slow cooks, puds and drinks. From Sausage, Kale and Flageolet slow cook, Open Sesame Slaw and Ben s Indian Parsnip Soup to the Leon Better Brownie, Raspberry and Almond Tart and Breakfast Power Smoothies, these are all the best bits we love from the restaurant menus, past and present.
