Vegetable small plates are the very heart of this mouth-watering debut book from Rob Howell. With a focus on sustainability and using the very best of ingredients, Rob showcases over 100 recipes from the award-wining Bristol waterfront restaurant for you to mix and match at home, creating greedy feasts for family and friends - or even just for yourself!

Although not central to the book, meat and fish recipes abound to satisfy even the hungriest of carnivores, and the desserts are not to be missed. There is something for everyone within these pages. Recipes include:
Welsh rarebit toasts
Buttermilk fried celeriac
Cauliflower bhajis with cashew butter and pickled orange
Tempura spring onions with sweet chilli sauce and peanut crumb
Chicken schnitzel with sauerkraut
Spiced monkfish tail with 3 sauces
Doughnuts with carrot jam
and Sherry panna cotta

With stunning photography to accompany every dish, this is a cookbook to be devoured at once, and then read and cooked from time and time again.
