From the veg patch
by Kathy Slack (£25, Ebury) After suffering burnout, Kathy quit her job and turned to her garden and growing her own produce for solace. From that, came this clever cookbook where she’s chosen 10 favourite fruits and vegetables, and created 100 recipes to showcase them. Beautifully written and shot, with plenty of growing advice, this would make a great Christmas present. Must-try recipe: Courgette & cheddar scones
