About this title

Synopsis:

A recent survey found that Brussels sprouts were the most hated vegetable in Britain, yet though the sprout is often the butt of the jokes around the Christmas dinner table, there are actually many things to love about the lowly sprout. Sprouts are full of vitamins, folic acid and dietary fibre - and consuming them doesn't have to be a chore. There are an abundance of recipes new and old championing the use of sprouts in cooking, from the quirky Brussels Sprouts in Beer to the rather more stylish Brussels Sprout Gratin. If you still can't bring yourself round to the idea of consuming a Brussels sprout, why not try your hand at Brussels sprouts indoor boules, or making them into original, conversation-stopping jewellery? Whatever you choose to do with your sprouts, "The Sprout Book" uncovers a whole new world of sprout-related pleasure in this highly eccentric (and embarrassingly flatulent) gift book.
