Delicious magazine has named Kathy Slack's cookbook "A Year in My Veg Patch" as one of the top cookbooks of 2021. Not only does Slack write beautifully, but she also takes stunning photographs with a strong sense of place, light dappling across the pages.

"A Year in My Veg Patch" is a lovely first cookbook that celebrates the joys of growing your own and cooking what you grow. Slack writes beautifully, and her recipes are fresh, tempting, and full of inspiration.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall praised the book, saying, "This book is a seasonal treat. I feel transported into nature when I read Kathy's delightful recipes."

Thomasina Miers described the book as "a gentle, useful book full of inspiring, delicious recipes and guidance for kitchen gardeners." Slack writes with a poetic, infectious wonderment at the life-enhancing magic of growing and cooking vegetables.

Rosie Birkett described the book as "a book full of promise."

Gill Meller praised the book, saying, "Everyday recipes that make vegetables the star of the show." Slack takes us through a year in her veg patch in this celebration of her ten favorite things to grow and eat. Peas, lettuce, courgettes, beans, tomatoes, beetroot, squash, apples, kale, and leeks; all simple to grow, affordable, and readily available to anyone without a growing space of their own. Most recipes are vegetarian, some use meat or fish, but every dish makes veg the star of the plate. This is food for everyone and every day.

The book includes recipes to herald the start of spring (Pea, Feta, and Mint Frittata), to enjoy on a sweltering summer day (A Tomato-lovers Salad with Anchovy Breadcrumbs), to warm you up as the nights start to draw in (Pumpkin Tikka Masala), and to hunker down with in the depths of winter (Leek, Chestnut, and Cider Crumble). Whether you grow your own vegetables at home or buy them at the supermarket, these beautiful recipes celebrate ingredients at their very best and are sure to delight your taste buds.
