The fruitful life

Enjoying more plants in your diet is one of the most powerful steps you can take to improve your health and lessen your impact on the environment. Every season, Mother Nature provides a plethora of fruit and vegetables bursting with colour and flavour. Whether you’re growing your own or buying from local producers, it’s never been easier to enjoy food grown and harvested close to home.

In Gill Meller’s beautiful book, Root, Stem, Leaf, Flower: How, we are invited to ‘slow down, stop for a moment, watch the seasons turn, listen to nature’. Meller shares his passion for seasonal eating with a collection of vegetarian recipes that takes us on a year-long journey of abundance. Simple and seasonal, from land to plate.
