Elly Pear's Let's Eat: Simple, delicious food for everyone, every day

Product Information

If a restaurant has asparagus on the menu out of season, I immediately know what does, and doesn’t, matter to the chefs.

I take these straight from the packet, then fry them in butter and oil so they go all crunchy and crispy. I also really hope supermarkets remove plastic from their packaging, make a bigger statement about what is British and seasonal, and get people to remember that certain foods are treats, not everyday fare.But what’s important is that if you’re going to cut stuff out, you owe it to yourself to learn how to create proper vegetarian meals. I taught myself completely, but I don’t cook difficult food – just delicious food that’s fun to make and won’t stress you out.
