Fresh Veggie Kitchen: Natural, nutritious and delicious wholefood recipes to nourish body and soul

Description

David and Charlotte Bailey serve only nutritious wholefoods from their street-food van, Wholefood Heaven, as they tour the country and travel worldwide in search of recipes and inspiration for new and exciting flavours. Their food is informed by the need to live well and be both mindful of and uplifted by what you put in your body. This book is a celebration of naturally healthy, unprocessed ingredients and flavours from around the world. Featuring over 60 recipes for wholesome vegetarian and vegan meals, including breakfasts and drinks, many of the recipes are presented as easy-to-eat bowl-food (all the nutrients you need for a healthy meal in one), or can be cooked in a single pot (ideal if you are away holidaying or camping at a festival). Featuring plenty of information on the benefits of grains, cereals, pulses, nuts, seeds and fruit and veg, the recipes offer a full range of enticing meals, drawn from an international repetoire. Start the day with delicious Quinoa Porridge with Vanilla-Spiced Almonds and Dates, move on to a lunch of Coconut and Sweet Potato Polenta Cakes with Wild Mushrooms and Asian Greens, and finish the day with an Ethiopian Teff and Butternut Squash Stew, or Yucatan Salbutes, and top it all off perfectly with a dessert of Spelt and Olive Oil Lemon Cake. This mouthwatering array of recipes will be the only inspiration needed to live a healthier lifestyle.

When David and Charlotte Bailey fell in love with a Citroen H van they saw parked in Notting Hill, Wholefood Heaven was born. Having worked in many leading restaurants, including as the founding head chef of Saf, where he cooked with Chad Sarno, David followed his heart and hit the road. The ethos of Wholefood Heaven is simple: no matter where you are, you should be able to buy high-quality, nutritious, healthy, ethical and tasty fresh food. They won Best Main Dish at the 2011 British Street Food Awards for their Buddha Bowl.
