Joe Woodhouse

'Joe just makes the most delicious food that happens to have no meat or fish in it.' Rachel Roddy

We're very happy to welcome chef and photographer, Joe Woodhouse to the bookshop to cook from his collection of recipes More Daily Veg, a companion to the highly acclaimed - and one of our in-house favourite cookbooks - Your Daily Veg.

Long-time vegetarian Joe Woodhouse celebrates everyday, seasonal vegetables in a fresh, modern way with dishes that always deliver on flavour and satisfaction. Swapping just one meat dish for a plant-based one saves greenhouse gas emissions that are equivalent to the energy used to charge your phone for two years. Focusing either on one core vegetable or a group of similar vegetables - including celeriac, beetroot and squash, tomatoes and fennel, mushrooms, onions and leeks, and beans, pulses and seeds - the recipes follow a simple format of short ingredients lists and easy-to-follow instructions.

'One of those cookbooks that you can tell will go into heavy rotation in your kitchen. Each chapter is given over to a different, common vegetable and how you can turn it into a satisfying and straightforward meal.' - Tim Lewis, Observer Food Monthly

Joe Woodhouse has been vegetarian since the age of 10, teaching himself how to cook. He later trained as a chef (Vanilla Black, Towpath Cafe, Quality Chop house). He is married to Ukrainian food writer and activist, Olia Hercules and is the man behind the beautiful photographs in her books. His clients include Soho Farmhouse, Belazu, Marmite, Asda, Hakkasan, and Coleman's. He is lauded amongst colleagues - including Anna Jones and Nigella Lawson - for being the best vegetarian chef in the business. His work has featured in publications such as The New Yorker, Bon Appetit, Guardian, Observer, Metro, Evening Standard and Life & Thyme.
