Exciting. Two books I have co-authored launch this Saturday at The Udder Farm Shop.

Making More of Squashes and Making More of Beans and Peas are the first two in a new series, Making More of Vegetables, published by Hothivebooks.

Mainstay of most of the globe’s diet, vegetables are at the heart of real food, bringing a diverse wealth of vitality, health and taste.

We know vegetables are good for us so how can we make more of them?

These two books ...

Hi Elisabeth

Congratulations on what look like two fabulous books! If it’s not too late I’d love to review them for you on my blog and on Amazon

All best,

Claire

Yes, definitely! I have left my email address on your blog – and admired your persimmon cookies. What a great idea. I have never cooked with persimmon before…

Makes me think you will like the book’s recipe for squash mousse!

Hello Elisabeth. I saw your post on the UKFBA website. Are you still looking for reviewers? Your books sound interesting and I’d be pleased to review them. I love cookbooks and veg–my two favourite things!

Hi Mark

That’s terrific – I have sent you an email and hope to hotfoot those books in your direction.

I will be interested to hear which recipes you decide to add to your squash repertoire.

Saw your post on the UKFBA forum, so came over to check out more.

I would love to a chance to review your books. With squashes I always end up doing one of three things:

1. Making a soup like this http://buttazblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/astrids-dinnner.html

2. Making a risotto

3. Roasting as a side dish

I’d love some new inspiration.

I’d be more than happy to review.

I hope it’s got a recipe for Custard squash – I’ve got one and I’ve no idea what to do with it!

I run a vegetarian food blog and would be very interested in doing a review.

You bet! Am a fan of your work bringing healthy food to schools. I heard you talk from the floor at the Real Food Festival and thought: “Right on, sista!”.

I have left a comment on your blog. Elisabeth x

Hi Choclette

Thank you so much for your review – helpful, practical and informative.

It was great seeing the book through your eyes.

Hi Elisabeth

My review is now on Amazon – I do think this is a great book.

I’ve also posted the promised piece about flour on my blog.

Hi Roz, I rather like having a triple version of your response to the books…Thank you!

roz 3 months, 1 week ago on Wordpress

sorry for the double – now triple – comment. I am experiencing a few key board glitches…x

Hi Choclette – how lovely to get your enthusiastic response! Hope you enjoy it and look forward to seeing the review.

Love and vegetable-blessings, Elisabeth

Hi Elisabeth

Very exciting to come home this evening and find a parcel on the floor – a copy of your Beans & Peas. Dove into it straight away. How fantastic! Love the idea of having a book specialising in one family of vegetables. Great recipes, alas too late to use for this year’s crops, will have to wait for next year’s. Will write a review soon. Will also have to go ... See all content Hide content

Hi Choclette, I left my email on your latest post, Chilli chocolate cup cakes – love use of chilli and wholemeal flour all in one innocent cupcake!

Such brilliant news! Squash mouse… Christmas presents ahoy! Really big congratulations.

Choclette 3 months, 2 weeks ago on Wordpress

Hi Elisabeth – it’s probably just me, but can’t find an e-mail address for you. Assuming I will need to e-mail you my snail mail address?

realfoodlover 3 months, 2 weeks ago on Wordpress

Hi Alison, I have emailed you and also left a comment on your website – look forward to winging the books your way.

Thanks, Leila. It’s not every day I push the boat out so glad you got to experience a bit of one-off luxury wowness. One for Christmas?

realfoodlover 3 months, 2 weeks ago on Wordpress

Hi Choclette – a review on Amazon or your blog or wherever you suggest would be grand!

And Ruth, thanks for your warm wishes – great to ‘meet’ you and visit your website.

Yo Phil – thanks for comment! The books sell for £8.99…

Choclette 3 months, 2 weeks ago on Wordpress

They both look great Elizabeth – congratulations. I’d love either or both of these to review. Our squashes were completely rubbish this year, so any tips on how to do better would be great. Also usually inundated with runner beans so any extra ideas for eating these more than welcome.

Was it just a review on Amazon you are looking for?

I’m impressed! Looks like you’ve hit on a vein along the lines of cooking organic for dummies.

How much are the books selling for?

Thank you, Geraldine! I love the idea that the books might out-Delia Delia…if one may be so bold to dream…

realfoodlover 3 months, 2 weeks ago on Wordpress

Hi Lisa, thanks for such immediate feedback – encouraging. The recipes are for fresh beans – is that OK? Elisabeth

Geraldine 3 months, 2 weeks ago on Wordpress

I loved these 2 books. bright, colourful, and interesting yet achievable recipes for these much neglected foods. They made good reading as well.

Delia darling – look and learn!

Lisa 3 months, 2 weeks ago on Wordpress

I would love to review a copy! I have been looking for more ways to incorporate beans into my diet so this would be a great opportunity.

realfoodlover 3 months, 2 weeks ago on Wordpress

If you want a review copy, just leave a comment – I can email you (and would never publish your email). Just so you know!
