In Person Author Talk: Gaz Oakley, Plant to Plate

Book Larder is excited to welcome back Gaz Oakley to celebrate his newest book, Plant to Plate: Delicious and Versatile Plant-Forward Recipes! Gaz will join us for a recipe demo, author talk and book signing on Thursday, June 12th at 6:30pm. 

A few years ago, at his rural home in the Welsh countryside, Gaz Oakley planted a kitchen garden with the aim of utilizing plants to their full potential. Inspired by his thriving veg and fruit plot, the 100 vibrant and versatile recipes within this book celebrate the bountiful produce nature has to offer. 

Reservations are non-refundable and can include a signed copy of the $35.00 book. Applicable sales tax and a $0.75 transaction fee are also included.

More about the book: Focusing on accessible ingredients like carrots, beetroot, cabbage, onions, tomatoes, apples and pears, Gaz has created a medley of seasonal, delicious dishes that showcase these crops at their best. With recipes including Strawberry and Lavender Welsh Cakes for a spin on a classic, savory Stuffed Harissa Onions, and gorgeous Tomato, Thyme and Almond Upside Down Cake, there is something for every season and every taste.

Revealing the beauty of the passing seasons and the magic feeling that comes alongside harvesting and cooking your own food, Plant to Plate will inspire you to make the most of fresh produce and perhaps take inspiration for your very own veg patch.    

Gaz Oakley is passionate about plants. After becoming a chef in Cardiff, UK, at the age of just 15, he was inspired to switch up his diet, using the techniques he learned working as a professional chef to devise delicious, innovative dishes with plants at the heart of the plate. Gaz now has over 3.4 million followers on social media and his previous three books (Vegan 100, Plants Only Kitchen and Plants Only Holidays) were instant hits worldwide.
