Product Description

This is a cookbook to love, a cookbook to read. It presents delicious, beautiful, seasonal recipes from Keith Abel, the utterly charismatic co-founder of Abel and Cole, Britain's most successful organic home delivery company. "Cooking Outside the Box: The Abel and Cole Seasonal, Organic Cookbook" provides mouth-watering excuses for eating glorious food exactly when it comes into its best. These are inspiring yet unfussy recipes that let simple ingredients speak for themselves (but don't try to stop him speaking on their behalf). Brilliantly written and entertaining, these are recipes even the most timid cook can approach with gusto. Who wouldn't want to cook Keith's way? So throw out your measuring cups, get rid of your scales, and get to know your food! Recipes include pork loin chops on a bed of sweet orchard apples, husk wrapped and roasted garlic corn, venison fillet with black kale and port, 45 minute pumpkin and parmesan bread, chargrilled asparagus and halloumi with a citrus dressing, and rhubarb bread and butter pudding. Keith also suggests delicious smoothies and soups to help you find a use for that inevitable glut of leftover fruit and veggies at the end of the week. This work is fully illustrated with beautiful finished food shots, inspiring atmospheric pictures and charming visual references to Keith's own quirky style. "Cooking Outside the Box" also features Keith's anecdotes on organic farms and small producers, stories about the friends and family who have inspired him, and hilarious suggestions about how to get the most out of your cooking experience. So eat well and eat with the seasons!

Customer Reviews

Cooking Outside the Box
I saw this book reviewed in the Sunday Times, and ordered it for a friend. I had to keep it. When I began to leaf through the recipes, I felt a strong urge to dust off the cooker & try some of the suggestions. Its full of original recipes, which have so far been fool-proof. I highly recommend this book, as a gift and a treat.

Refreshing addition to kitchen shelves
Brilliantly written with great recipes. Not only is the book full of great ideas but it's also a fun read for those with a sense of humour. Abel & Cole rightly deserve to be the frontrunners of the organic home delivery movement if Mr. Abel's creativity and passion for the product is anything to go by.

Fab... more please
Brilliant cookbook, [...] totally devoid of ponciness. If you are of the 'shove a glug of x into a dollop of y' school of cooking you will LOVE this book. [...]

I can only echo the cries of 'more please'
