The Clarks renew their passion for the food of Spain and the Muslim Mediterranean, but this time they find their inspiration a little closer to home—in an East End allotment. Documenting the authors' year in a Manor Garden allotment, this book captures the spirit of the community through the recipes and photographs that reflect everyday activities in this area, from Turkish women rolling flatbreads to families gathering to grill kebabs during the weekend. The 150 imaginative and seasonal recipes include Moro favorites along with new combinations such as pigeon salad with figs, chickpeas and pomegranate molasses, tortilla with onion tops, and courgette and yogurt soup. Showing how to experiment with plants that can be eaten at various different stages of their growth, this cookbook also includes recipes for parts of the crop that might otherwise be discarded (celery leaves, pea shoots, and poppy leaves) and makes use of produce that does not ripen, such as green tomatoes. Recipes for using produce at the end of the growing season, such as chili jam, tomato preserve, and pickled garlic, are also detailed.

This book is great - we have all three Moro books (and are big fans of the restaurant), and this is my favourite. The flavour combinations are really intersting: the beet salad with pistacio nut dressing, for instance. as it is structured around their allotment garden, it is also really useful for working out what to do with heaps of garden produce.

This is a great cook book. I'm always looking for new ideas on food and this book is like a breath of fresh air. It's recipies have interesting, and at least to me, new flavor combinations. I've had the book 6 months or so and have tried a dozen or more of the recipies. Most of the ingredients are readily available locally when in season, although for some of the recipies, I had to make a mental note to look for special ingredients when I was in San Jose, prior to cooking it.
As an interesting note, I was enthralled by the people stories and the stories of the "allotment." These stories where so interesting and the descriptions accurate enough that I was able to use Google Earth to find the community garden and match satellite images with some of the photos in the book. I think the satellite images still exist on Google even as the Olympic construction has already raised the gardens.

I gave this book to a foodie for Christmas and he read it all evening long,
enjoying the pictures and planning what he wanted to try in the near future.
I am happy that he is getting so much pleasure from the book and hope to
partake in some of the dishes he will make.
Beautiful book, beautiful cover.
Thank you.
