My new book is out! I say my new book, but of course it's Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's new book: the next River Cottage everyday cook book, all about vegetables. Yum. 
For this book, I created the illustrations out of the ingredients themselves: I printed with the actual vegetables in the recipes. Remember how you used to print with potatoes at school? Sort of like that, but in a slightly more professional way. 
I left some of the vegetable prints simple (like this globe artichoke) and with others I created narratives and patterns, to complement the recipes.
The illustrations have the same relaxed 'home-made' feel to them as the ones in the last 'River Cottage every day' cookbook, but this time in full colour, and with texture. 
You can read what Hugh says about the book here:

It's the Guardian link, as he writes for them every weekend. The book is on their best-seller list!
You can also go direct to River Cottage to watch several videos of Hugh talking about the book. He's so excited about vegetables...
I'd also like to say a little thank you to Lawrence Morton, who art directed the book, as he's been so wonderful to work with. Thank you!
