Featuring 100 approachable recipes and an introduction from gut-health expert Tim Spector, this hardback cookbook shows home cooks how to hit the celebrated "30 plants a week" target using vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, pulses, grains, herbs and spices. It's a practical, energising companion for tastier, healthier everyday meals.

About the Book
Thirty plants a week might sound like a challenge, but Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall makes it simple and genuinely enjoyable in this collection of 100 recipes. Drawing on the latest gut-health research, championed in Tim Spector's introduction, the book explains why a wide variety of plant foods - far beyond just fruit and veg - helps feed a healthy microbiome, supports energy levels, and contributes to long-term wellbeing. Recipes are organised into inviting chapters such as soups and stoups, traybakes, fish dishes, meat-and-veg mains, and vibrant sides, giving cooks flexible options whether they're cooking plant-only meals or blending in a little fish or meat. Nuts, seeds, pulses, grains, herbs, spices, chocolate and even coffee all count towards the weekly total, and Hugh's approachable style makes tracking and increasing plant intake feel achievable rather than daunting. Throughout, there are practical tips, clever ingredient swaps and time-saving tricks that fit around real family life and busy schedules. The book balances nutritional insight with Hugh's trademark warmth and love of good food, ensuring every recipe is as delicious as it is beneficial. It's designed to be used again and again, becoming a genuine kitchen staple rather than a book that gathers dust on the shelf. Whether you're an experienced cook or just starting out, this collection offers accessible dishes that make hitting your plant goals part of everyday cooking.
