Description

When Jade ODonahoo sold her tiny but acclaimed hole-in-the-wall caf, Switch Board, in the heart of Melbourne, she wanted to share the secrets of her favourite dishes. She wrote down the recipes, compiling them as a gift to loyal customers and friends. Beautiful illustrations followed, and the project evolved, first to a blog, and ultimately to this little book. Eat This, My Friend is Jades collection of more than 60 lovingly illustrated recipes for versatile, healthy veggie dishes that are fuss-free and especially good when shared with friends.

From the delicious and healthy Choc-tahini spread or Labneh + beetroot bagel that will get you through breakfast with a breeze, to Lemony broccoli quinoa salad, or a Peperonata tart that will stave off the lunchtime hunger pangs, and meals such as Thai-style pumpkin soup or Lentil shepherds pie that will keep you satisfied for dinner, Eat This, My Friend has you covered for every occasion. A whole chapter is set aside for sides, a meal that is often overlooked, with Raw zucchini agrodolce or Honey + harissa glazed sweet potato, then its onto sweet treats such as Apricot + coconut bliss balls or Lemon, yoghurt + polenta muffins. Jade also offers handy tips on kitchen equipment, staples for your pantry and recipes to make your own condiments and sauces.

Eat This, My Friend is the result of 15 years of collecting recipes, drawing and illustrating, of cooking and tasting and sharing; a book that will help you realise that incredible food need not be complicated or timeconsuming, nor do you need to be a chef to be able to prepare it; a book that makes you actually want to cook.

Author Bio

Jade ODonahoo was co-founder and operator of the acclaimed hole-in-the-wall caf Switch Board, opened in the heritage-listed Manchester Unity building in central Melbourne in 2005. Her book project started as a promise to a customer, devastated by news that Jade was selling the caf and that her favourite dishes would be available no more. Dont worry, Jade said, the recipes are so easy, Ill just write them down for you! And so Jades little book came to be. As it grew, she recognised that she had something special on her hands, something that she would like to share with a wider audience. Jade has a blog, Eat This My Friend, and is also now studying to be a teacher. She cares for her young son, nurtures a backyard vegetable patch, loves skateboarding, and is engaged in her local community particularly anything to do with food.
