About the Author

Anna Jones is a cook, food writer and stylist. One grey, late-for-the-office day, she decided to quit her day job after reading an article about following your passion. Within weeks, she was signed up on Jamie Oliver's Fifteen apprentice programme. She went on to be part of Jamie's food team - styling, writing and working behind the scenes on books, TV shows and food campaigns. She has also worked with other well-known chefs, such as Henry and Tom Herbert (The Fabulous Baker Brothers), Stevie Parle and Antonio Carluccio, and cooked for royalty, politicians and LA school children alike. She lives, writes and cooks in Hackney, East London.

PRAISE FOR A MODERN WAY TO COOK:

'Brilliant' Nigel Slater

'Jones's appeal lies in the very tangible depths of flavour and wealth of texture at work in her dishes. So much so that their vegetarian nature passes you by, its simple, wonderful workable food that will undoubtedly make people happy ... Anna Jones, you queen of greens, you've only gone and done it again' Guardian Cook

'Vegetarian recipes that can be produced in under 40, 20, even 15 minutes - you want to cook it all' Book of the Week, Telegraph
