Why I love organic!

A ground-breaking new cookbook, Discover Organic, has been launched by the Why I Love Organic campaign in time for Organic September 2011 – and I’m delighted that one of my favourite organic recipes has been included! In Discover Organic celebrities, chefs and home cooks share their passion for organic food, and show just how easy it is to eat organic. Their stories and recipes demonstrate how eating organic doesn’t have to be difficult, exclusive or expensive. It’s practical, great tasting, better for nature and above all it’s something we can all make part of every mealtime. I love vegetables – all of them! In an ideal world, if I had more time, I’d grow my own. Unfortunately, I just spend too much time away from home and it can’t be done. Fortunately I’ve got some great local shops supplying organic produce – they’re my ‘vegetable patch’.

Discover Organic (RRP £14.99) will be available in selected Waitrose stores across the UK. For more information on the campaign, visit www.whyiloveorganic.co.uk
