“I could cook from this book every night and have the perfect supper on the table daily”

— Nigella Lawson

Alice Hart is an experienced and thoughtful author. Her books showcase her vivid, wholesome recipes and insightful cookery advice, honed by her background as a food stylist, chef and food editor. Alice is particularly enthusiastic about vegetables being given prime position on the table, providing the home cook with ample choice and inspiration when it comes to bold vegetarian and vegan recipes. Her food is inspired by her travels around the world and she loves to cook with fresh, seasonal produce, adding generous quantities of herbs and spices.

Alice’s books to date have focused on vibrant vegetarian recipes and on cooking for gatherings of friends and family. Her six titles are listed below, the newest being Repertoire, a generous collection of modern vegetarian classics for everyday cooking and special occasions.

Repertoire

Repertoire brings together over 90 of Alice’s gutsiest and most flavourful vegetarian recipes, designed to become the heavily thumbed, sauce-spattered book you reach for again and again. Modern classics, future classics and signature dishes cover every occasion, from brunches that work just as well for supper to characterful sides that can take centre stage. An entire chapter of sauces adds extra oomph, while properly indulgent puddings round off a flexible and sociable collection that puts vegetables firmly at the heart of the table.
