Aside from the little cutie-pie on the front cover, this is a very practical book, being so much more than just organic food. Part one details the reasons for raising your baby organically; part two is an extensive organic products guide. Reassuringly, the author also advocates the use of organic fair trade products and buying sustainably wherever possible

An advocate of locally grown, organic produce, chef Capra is an inspiration in the use of natural ingredients to enhance each other in the pot. Many of the recipes, such as risottos, he uses in his restaurant in Toronto. His recipes can be used anywhere in the world, substituted with your own fresh, locally sourced ingredients, but using traditional Italian methods and combinations. One pot cooking fits in with our ethos of using less energy wherever possible. Chapters include soups; risotto and polenta; salads and eggs; poultry, vegetables and sweets. The chocolate risotto sounds a great way to round off a meal, and is just one of many unusual recipes for you to try.

Written and presented by travelling artist and writer Glennie Kindred, it is a pleasure to include in our stock an item that is so different to the usual cookbooks. Beautifully illustrated with lovely line drawings, this book is a celebration of all things seasonal, natural and free. With tips on the successful collecting of our indigenous fruits, nuts and berries, their subsequent preparation and preservation this book is organised season by season. It should help to counterbalance the lack of seasonality that supermarkets have brought about. You can use this to combine children, countryside walks and cookery.

Split into two main sections, the first part is an alphabetically arranged introduction to each of the main fruits and vegetables, with how to harvest, prepare, store, freeze and cook each one. It also includes some basic recipe ideas. The second part is full of recipes that give more in-depth instructions and techniques that will bring out the best of the harvested produce. Many of the recipes have a photograph, but this not a book of clever photography, rather a practical volume for those who want to get the best from the items they have grown. The cherry tomato and sweet pepper upside-down tart sounds delicious, as does blueberry pie with lavender cream.
