Most cookbooks these days include recipes with meat, seafood or poultry. However award-winning food writer Lynne Mullins’ latest cookbook features over 350 recipes predominately using fruit, vegetables, herbs and exotics.
Produce has different sections for fruit, vegetables, herbs and exotics and features over 100 ingredients. Lyn provides a brief history on each ingredient as well as advice on the best way to select and prepare the finest fruit and vegetables for your cooking. Each ingredient is stunningly photographed. She also provides a few recipes for each ingredient, however unlike many cookbooks; there are only limited photography of finished dishes.
Two of my favourite recipes in Produce include Salad of king prawns with cucumber, watercress, papaya and chilli as well as a Tomato, chilli, calamari and chorizo salad with cannellini beans.
Lynne Mullins is an experienced and passionate food writer. Lynne has travelled extensively, experiencing the many different cooking traditions and cultures from around the world. She writes a weekly food column in The Sydney Morning Herald Good Living section and is the author of three books: Noodles to Pasta, Relish and Whip it Up. In addition to these titles and her regular contributions to other publications like Vogue Living and Australian Gourmet Traveller, Lynne also does cooking segments on television and radio.
Produce is a great healthy concise cookbook with stunning photography.
