|summary=Chloe Coker and Jane Montgomery aren't strict vegetarians, but they are ''passionate about fresh, healthy, seasonal, meat-free cooking.'' A shared frustration about being unable to find the inspiration and ideas they wanted led to this book, with its recipes which will appeal to everyone from strict vegetarians to meat eaters. Reassuringly they're not out to convert anyone - just to give some inspiration, particularly to people who haven't tried this type of food before. Some recipes are suitable for vegans (or can be easily adapted) and they're clearly marked, as are those suitable for people with a gluten intolerance.

|title=Patisserie at Home
|rating=4
|genre=Cookery
|summary=I've always been in awe of people who can make great desserts - the ones which taste amazing AND look stunning on the plate. I have used [[The Roux Brothers on Patisserie by Michel and Albert Roux]] (that's Michel Roux senior, by the way and not his son) but I found the book almost pernickety in some of its requirements and I've long wished for a book which was rather more relaxed and aimed at the home cook rather than someone who aspired to be a professional chef. ''Patisserie at Home'' seemed to fit the bill.
