.Wild Garlic, Gooseberries and Me: A Chef's Stories and Recipes from the Land

by: Denis Cotter

November 05, 2007
This is a wondeful cookbook which provides recipes for some unusual ingredients, and all are lovely (and some, like woodland produce, are in fact free!) You'll feast on such unusual dishes as nettle risotto, tart with wild garlic leaves and feta cheese, watercress soup, parsnip, fennel and quinoa pilaf, and a spelt farotto. So unusual but so delicious. I have been a veggie for nearly 15 years and have accumulated quite a large selection of cookbooks in that time but none of them have introduced me to so many unknown yet positively divine foods as Denis Cotter has. And don't worry, if you have a wholefood store and a woodland near you, there's no reason why you should not be able to make all the foods in this book.

I find the recipes ... Read More:

.The Cafe Paradiso Cookbook (Atrium Press)

by: Denis Cotter

July 20, 1999
Wow! What can I say. This book has to have some of the most inspirational vegetarian recipes I have ever seen. I've just had great reactions at a dinner party to the Oyster Mushrooms in Ginger Butter that I cooked from a recipe in this book, and I have to agree with them. The recipes are not necessarily the quickest to prepare, but if they all taste as good as the mushrooms, then the extra time taken to put them together will be worth it. Since buying this book, my plans for this year now include a trip to Cork to sample the delights of this restaurant.

.Paradiso Seasons

by: Denis Cotter

May 29, 2003
I own both the Café Paradiso books and cannot rate them highly enough. It's true that few of the recipes are quick - they are taken from the restaurant and do involve plenty of prep - but the end results are incredible.

It struck me recently that whenever I want to cook a vegetarian meal, recipes from either book always go down well with my husband. In contrast, most other vegetarian cook books are compiled by women and the recipes leave the average man unsatisfied!

I love this book for being able to focus on a vegetable that's in season. I love both of the books for providing an entire well-balanced meal in each recipe.

.A Paradiso Year: Autumn and Winter Cooking

by: Denis Cotter

September 01, 2005
Here is a chef who is unbelievably original and inventive with his food. Being a veggie for 15 years means I am tired of staples such as pasta with tomato sauce and spinach lasagne. Denis Cotter makes veggie cooking glamorous and exquisite with new combinations or completely new, original ingredients. The Spring and Summer Cooking section of Paradiso Seasons (yes, it is the same book but released in 2 volumes) bursts with asparagus, broad beans, courgettes, halloumi, rocket, tomatoes...readily available and always delicious ingredients, meaning you have no excuse not to make wonderfully original veggie meals to wow your guests with or just to treat yourself. No excuses either if you don't have a specialty delicatessen near you - most Sainsburys will stock everything ... Read More:
