This is a great book for anyone on a vegetable box scheme of any kind.

The summer part is a bit too much BBQ, but the book does have three really interesting recipes for swede, the one vegetable where I'm still looking for a way to prepare it that I actually like.

I also like the relaxed tone, encouraging you to experiment, for instance giving a completely general recipe for soup, and many substitution suggestions.

Sometimes I wish they'd have more definite amounts - how much is a dollop, a glug, or a sprinkle? So far, the dollops tend to be bigger than I thought.

They mention for every recipe if it's vegetarian or vegan, which is practical. This is not a vegetarian cookbook, though.

And don't ignore the bits at the end of each season, where they will give you some more tips on improvising: make almost anything into a soup, salad or juice.
