Melissa Hemsley is a cook, writer and champion of sustainable, nourishing food who loves to celebrate easy, affordable and sustainable healthy food that everyone can enjoy with minimum impact on the planet.
Following the success of her first bestselling solo cookbook, ‘Eat Happy’, Melissa is releasing her new cookbook, ‘Eat Green’, in January 2020. Sharing 100 practical, flexitarian recipes, ‘Eat Green’ celebrates vegetables as the star ingredient, with simple swaps included, meaning that meat and fish can be added in or taken away, so everyone can enjoy a delicious meal.
Each recipe focuses on UK-grown, easy-to-buy ingredients, cutting down on food waste and celebrating the very best seasonal produce, whether they are an omnivore, vegetarian or something in between – with extra emphasis on using up all those odds and ends which usually get thrown away. Alongside recipes, ‘Eat Green’ is packed with Melissa’s great USPs including time saving tricks, efficiency tweaks and seasonal swaps.
To celebrate the release, we’ll be welcoming Melissa for an exclusive lunch with a handful of you. Starting with a taste of some of the tasty canapés found in ‘Eat Green’, before taking a seat for a talk from Melissa herself about her latest recipes and love for good food, followed by a Q&A session. Then, enjoy an afternoon lunch with a delicious two-course menu inspired by Melissa’s latest recipes for the season.
Before heading home, if you haven’t opted to include a book, you’ll get the chance to purchase a personally dedicated signed copy of ‘Eat Green’ from Melissa, who will be around after the event if you fancy a photo together too!
