Brief description: Anne-Katrin Weber is a chef, nutritional scientist, freelance author of numerous cookery and pastry books - some of which have won awards- and an in demand food stylist for magazines and advertising. She loves cooking with vegetables and makes them a feature of her recipes. She not only loves greens on her plate, but also in her garden.
Review Quotes: "... the recipes themselves offer more detail, lovely photography, and fresh ideas for plant-based food, such as lentil and chocolate granola, beetroot fritters with labneh and quick pickled radish, and lentil and mushroom cottage pie. Weber even manages to sneak beans into desserts, as in her chocolate, hazelnut, and black bean brownies."-- "Publishers Weekly"
