Leon: zoete waren & hartige zaken

LEON #3

by Claire Ptak, Henry Dimbleby, Janke Greving (Translator)

Leon is een superleuke keten van biologische fastfoodrestaurants in Engeland. Het gaat uit van het idee dat 'food should taste good and do you good'. Leon heeft o.a. de Best New Restaurant Award gewonnen.

Met dit nieuwe Leon-kookboek kun je nu zelf die heerlijke zoete en hartige zaken maken! Bovendien bevat driekwart van de recepten geen bloem, zuivel of suiker en er zijn ook veel veganistische of glutenvrije gerechten: dus niet alleen lekker maar ook nog gezond.

De eerste helft van dit boek bevat recepten voor doordeweeks, van bananencake en brownies tot pizza's en zuurdesembrood. In het tweede deel vind je recepten voor speciale gelegenheden, van Pasen en Kerstmis tot bruiloften en partijen, met overdadige chocoladetaarten, overheerlijke pasteien, sorbets en fruitcompotes.

I'm afraid that the jury is out on this one. Although I own several of the other Leon books, and I usually adore Baking books of all types, for some reason I just can't get into it. Having said that, I will at some point, give it another shot and then I'll update this review.

I really didn't need another book about baking, but I got it anyway because it just is so nice to leaf through it, and the recipies are quite nice too.

Nice useful cook book.

Some interesting recipes - Guiness Malt Cake, Red wine & dried fig cake, & 'Specied Chicken Mystery (aka rhubarb) Pie' - but quite a few that felt pretty run of the mill 'fillers'. Still good to check out :)

Quite enjoyed this book, it has many wheat-free and gluten-free options, which is great for me! As well as dairy-free, vegan, etc options. Will have to try some of the recipes before I decide if it's good enough to add to the bookshelf.

This is probably the best cookbook that I've ever read! Its full of colorful illustrations and easy instructions. I'm definitely going to buy more of their cookbooks!

Mostly a cookbook of desserts, but also lovely stories of the history or inspiration for the dessert.
