Synopsis

Why aren't we using vegetables in dessert? They are as sweet as many fruits, and offer incredible flavours and visual appeal, and of course a wonderful boost of nutrition as well. This baking book with a difference brings you a kale and coconut gateau, asparagus and sesame cake, a carrot and coriander traybake, cheesecakes made with fennel, pumpkin, beet... along with all the health benefits. From beetroot cheesecake to radish-topped pavlova, smuggling veg into meals has never been easier or more beautiful. Squashes, sweetcorn, carrots, spinach, peas, kale, onions and even fiddlehead ferns take you into a new culinary universe, where the tastes are intriguing but the results are also irresistibly tempting to eat. Children will spot evidence of green in a veggie burger within seconds, but give them a cake with a big cauliflower inside, and the silliness of it opens the door. Why conform to the norm, let's embrace the strange and say yes to vegetables in unusual places! 'As focused on fabulous flavours and textures as nutrition, the recipes are little gems. Slice of chard tart?'; The Kitchen, Velvet Magazine. 'Tiers of golden sponge, sandwiched together with whipped buttercream... topped with chunks of crispy coated kale. That's right, kale. Leafy, green, found-in-the-vegetable-aisle kale. It's not what I normally look for in a cake. ...But the sponge is light and fluffy, and the crispy kale topping is mouth-wateringly moreish. I'm already tucking into my second slice'; Sarah Rainey, Daily Mail 'Inspire'.
