THE BOXING CLEVER COOKBOOK
A SEASONAL ORGANIC VEGETABLE COOKBOOK
Based on EarthShare, the UK’s biggest and oldest Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) scheme, the Boxing Clever Cookbook is packed with over 360 innovative and simple recipes for the 12 months of the year. The book, which has won the backing of the Soil Association, addresses the burning issues of food production, farming and nutrition in a way that doesn’t send you to sleep. It also includes a monthly farming news round up which increases understanding of how and why the food reaches you when it does.
Co-authors and publishers, Jacqui Jones and Joan Wilmot, have pooled their experiences of box schemes – and life - to come up with a practical and amusing survival guide to eating seasonal vegetables without furtive composting. They have learned that cooking vegetables from a weekly box rather than buying them on a ‘need’ basis from a supermarket demands more from the kitchen, as imagination is needed to make the day-to-day meals appeal to everyone in the household. As subscribers and users of a vegetable box scheme, Jacqui and Joan have written the first ever cookbook for the UK’s burgeoning vegetable box culture.
