Customer Reviews

the most impressive cookbook published in years
as the only specialist cookery bookshop in london, we are always looking out for new classics. cafe paradiso is one. beautifully put together, well written and containing the most fabulous recipes. this is NOT a vegetarian cookbook, it is a book where the recipes are so good they dont NEED meat. An absolute godsend to vegetarians, it's inspiring, transforming and encouraging. we have tested over three quarters of the recipes in the book in out test kitchen and they all work brilliantly. i have also eaten there and it was a wondeful experience. if you have room for only one cookbook, get this one!

veggie goodness
I've eaten in the Cafe Paradiso a few times now, and never have I been disappointed there. It's a vegetarian restaurant in name, but it transcends that genre, and is truly a gourmet foodie haven. The cookbook, written by the owner Dennis Cotter continues firmly in the tradition created by the restauant itself. The book starts with larder essentials, such as oils, breads, basic roasted veg etc. The very first recipe is for bread, and I dare you not to try it.

Sitting here right now, some recipes spring immediately to mind, such as the carrot, almond and feta terrine, or pasta with lemon. Little descriptions from the author accomapany each recipe and cause mouth-watering juices to flow.
This is not a vegetarian cookbook, this is a classic.

you don't need to be a veggie..
to find this book amazing - I love cooking, eat meat, but enjoy cooking fab food of any style and this book is just the best. Not as elaborate as Raymond, not as smug as Nigella, with more bite than Nigel. I used this book when planning a menu for veggie friends at Christmas and just loved the book, the recipes and the food. Oyster mushroom and Gubeen Ravioli is highly recommended.
