Lee Watson
Passionate about vegan food without being preachy, Lee Watson brings a singular sensibility to the vegan cookbook shelf. He has worked in restaurants for more than 20 years, has cooked on TV as one half of the presenting team on Fox's Meat v Veg and helped open a restaurant on the beach in Murcia, Spain. Besides growing his own organic fruit and vegetables, Lee writes poetry and plays guitar, practices yoga, hikes and runs in the mountains, swims in the sea, surfs and enjoys nature. He lives 'the good life' with his partner, Jane, in western Wales, where he works as a vegan chef at an idyllic retreat centre in Snowdonia National Park.

I find Lee Watson's Peace & Parsnips especially inspiring, full of original ideas and bold flavours ... [it] contains so many recipes I want to cook from.
A vegan resource with innovative recipes to tempt any palette.
This wonderful vegan cookbook... is packed full of recipes, inspiration and stunning photography... It might be the best-looking vegan cookbook we've seen.
Very vegan...This vibrant book is great if you'd like to have a go at vegan cooking. The recipes are tempting and aren't in the slightest bit daunting, and author Lee Watson is charming and funny - 'not preachy' - in his approach in spreading the word of veganism.
Vibrant, nutritious, and delicious vegan food that will blow your mind
“Watson writes with humor and energy about his world travels and the recipes they have inspired. The idea for a combination of warm figs and raw greens was born on a trip to Sancerre, France, but his stroke of brilliance is the decidedly nontraditional addition of what he calls lemon tofu feta.”
