Anna Jones marks the year in six seasons adding to our usual 4 to take account of the vast differences in temperature we experience through just one season. A cold start to Spring will keep us wanting warming stews and puds but when it warms up then we need to sharpen up our salad repertoires. Anna Jones has provided over 250 Vegetarian recipes, bang up to date and endlessly inventive, alongside the recipes there are guides to flowers and the right music for the right ambience. ~ Sue Baker

'Cook yourself through the veg year with Anna Jones. What a triumph of a book' Jamie Oliver
`The new Nigella is unquestionably Anna Jones Sunday Times
PRAISE FOR A MODERN WAY TO COOK:
`Brilliant' Nigel Slater
`Jones's appeal lies in the very tangible depths of flavour and wealth of texture at work in her dishes. So much so that their vegetarian nature passes you by, its simple, wonderful workable food that will undoubtedly make people happy ... Anna Jones, you queen of greens, you've only gone and done it again' Guardian Cook
`Vegetarian recipes that can be produced in under 40, 20, even 15 minutes - you want to cook it all' Book of the Week, Telegraph
`Just as fabulous as her first ... The bonus is that most of her recipes can be on the table in less than half an hour - which got us dashing to the kitchen' Jamie Magazine
PRAISE FOR A MODERN WAY TO EAT:
`A simply brilliant book - modern, clever, beautiful and full of delicious recipes. Go Anna!' Jamie Oliver

`Anna Jones has discovered exactly how, with imagination and good taste, to create exciting and delicious vegetarian recipes that fit the modern requirement of nourishment - not forgetting the economical side either. Well done, Anna' Antonio Carluccio
`Simple, seasonal, veg-led fare that is as delicious as it is virtuous ... Clear and concise ... Pretty as a picture, and mouthwatering to boot' Guardian

`My favourite vegetarian cookbook this year' Bee Wilson, Stella magazine

Anna Jones is a cook, food writer and stylist. One grey, late-for-the-office day, she decided to quit her day job after reading an article about following your passion.

She went on to be part of Jamie's food team - styling, writing and working behind the scenes on books, TV shows and food campaigns. Now freelance, she has worked with some of the country's biggest food brands, including innocent drinks for whom she wrote the recipes for Hungry?: the innocent recipe book for filling your family with good stuff. She has also worked with other well-known chefs, such as Henry and Tom Herbert (The Fabulous Baker Brothers), Stevie Parle and Antonio Carluccio, and cooked for royalty, politicians and LA school children alike. A Modern Way to Eat is her first solo book. She lives, writes and cooks in Hackney, East London.
