The Botanical Kitchen

WINNER OF THE 2019 JANE GRIGSON TRUST AWARD

This beautiful book places botanical ingredients at the fore, emphasising the power of a

few small ingredients to transform and enhance food the world over.

The choice of botanicals can transform a recipe, adding a new twist to a classic or

creating surprising and rewarding combinations, and in this 2019 Jane Grigson Trust

Award-winning book, Elly McCausland guides readers through cooking with botanicals,

looking at their culinary history and diverse uses over the years. Weaving through this

compelling text will be 90 delicious recipes including relishes and tarts, salads and

soups, noodle bowls and breads and everything in between, offering unique and

insightful flavour pairings.

From the common to the curious, Elly's debut book takes an in-depth look at our love

affair with every part of the plant. Chapters include fruits (tropical, Mediterranean and

orchard), leaves, flowers, seeds and berries, beautifully illustrated with photography by

Polly Webster.
