Retro motifs outfit this quirky-styled cookery book in honour of the London-based restaurant, Leon. Author and founder Allegra McEvedy serves up a feast with the two-sided book featuring sections on ingredients and recipes. The ingredient chapters use pull-out seasonality charts, historical facts, nutritional information, and preparation tips to describe Leon’s 250 favourite ingredients. These fruits, vegetables, fish, meats, dairy, and pantry goods are then highlighted in some of the restaurant’s most popular dishes in the recipe section. Moroccan Meatballs, Magic Mackerel Couscous, Indian Parsnip Soup, and the highly coveted Leon Better Brownie are a few of the top contenders. This book has been met with rave reviews from readers and is a beauty to flip through. Don’t miss this work of art with its plethora of facts, commitment to sustainable choices, and scrumptious recipes.
