I found this to be an interesting cookbook. It felt like a mix between healthy and indulgent, artistic and homey and basic.
The recipes are divided into morning, midday, afternoon, evening and party. Each section is then divided again into subgroups, such as cookies and bars, tea and loaf cakes and tart in the afternoon section. Most of the recipes are sweets or baked good, but there are also a nice collection of quiches in the midday section.
There are some very interesting recipes in this book. Take the prune, oat and spelt scones or the chocolate oat agave cookies. I found that a number of the recipes would require a special trip to the shops, while others would be completely impractical for me, such as fig leaf ice cream. Other recipes were simpler and used basic ingredients, such as the chocolate sandwich cookies. But my favourite part of this book was the last two sections. The party party collection of recipes are indulgent and delicious, and I liked the range of icing recipes included, such as coconut milk or loganberry icing. The very last section was also helpful. Entitled The Violet Pantry, it includes basics such as making vanilla extract, candied citrus peel and a range of jams.
The publishers provided a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
