Product Description

A stunning paperback version of the highly successful original Cooking Outside the Box. A cookbook to love, a cookbook to read. Delicious, beautiful, seasonal recipes from Keith Abel, the utterly charismatic co-founder of Abel & Cole, Britain's most successful organic home delivery company.

The Abel & Cole Cookbook: Easy, Seasonal, Organic 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, even the most timid cook can approach these recipes 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 & 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.

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 for getting the most out of your cooking experience.

So eat with the seasons and eat well!

Customer Reviews

wow, what a super book!
I ordered this having read all the reviews on Amazon and i have to say I am not disappointed. The book is presented beautifully, the recipes are simply, mouthwatering and oh so good for you.
I really, really recommend that you get this book!!

yummy!
I've been getting an A&C box for some time but already have lots of recipe books so didn't bother with this book before. Then I looked through it at a friend's house and have since had a few recipes from it, all of which were positively delicious. The book itself is a beautiful tome (I've only seen the hardback but I'm sure the paperback is similarly lush and hefty!), easy on the eye as well as enticing to the stomach. I asked for it for my birthday and am really looking forward to eating my way through its recipes!

The most honest cookbook I've ever bought!
Unfortunately Abel and Cole don't deliver to my area but Abel and Cole: Easy, Seasonal, Organic certainly delivered to my table!

I decided to cook up Roasted Squash and Wild Rocket Risotto for me and my girlfriend and, although we don't get organic boxes to our door, there is a nearby farmer's market that provided everything I needed for this easy-to-follow recipe.

I've made risotto in the past and it can go really wrong but Keith Abel's tell-it-like-it-is approach to cooking gave me the confidence to have another stab at it. The food was really rich but definitely delicious and earned me lots of brownie points...

I'd recommend this book to anybody who loves great food but doesn't want to waste time faffing over fiddly preparation. Plus it's particularly good if, like me, your partner is a strict veggie but you enjoy a nice bit of meat - I'll try the Calcutta Lamb Burger recipe for myself next!
