This is food that’s good for you and for the planet, too.

In Hugh’s inimitable style, [this book] demonstrates just how simple it is to get the fibre we need – and what a delicious experience that can be. Focused on the most accessible of plant foods, the recipes here are simple and sustaining… Hugh’s is a powerful message: eat more plants and you’ll eat more of the fibre that is central to good health.
