Jesse Jenkins – Cooking with Vegetables: Over 100 Fresh, Inventive Recipes

€29.00

In his stunning debut cookbook, Jesse Jenkins (of Another Day in Paradise) celebrates the pleasure of starting with a simple ingredient — a carrot, a leek, a cabbage, a tomato — and transforming it into something deeply delicious. With over 100 inventive recipes, Jenkins brings vibrant flavour, ease, and creativity to everyday cooking.

Blending the relaxed, sun-soaked spirit of his Californian roots with thoughtful techniques often reserved for meat or fish, Jesse shows how vegetables can take centre stage. Many recipes are vegetarian, and all can easily be adapted for plant-based cooking.

Inside, you’ll find dishes that balance comfort, brightness, and bold flavour:

Grilled Gem Lettuce with Marinated Artichokes & Anchovies
Miso-Glazed Courgettes
Cold Spicy Sesame Peanut Green Beans
Grilled Peas, Pickled Tomato & Burrata
New Potato Salad with Capers, Olives & Dill
Date & Stilton Tart with Jalapeño Puff Pastry

Braised Fennel with Spicy Chickpeas & Goat’s Curd

With a focus on shareable, everyday cooking, Another Day in Paradise is packed with recipes that build layered flavour from simple ingredients — perfect for home cooks, veggie lovers, and anyone looking to bring more colour and creativity into their kitchen.
