Inspiring camper van meal ideas for holidays on the road with friends and family

Best-selling author and professional chef Claire Thomson offers up her best 70 recipes with pulses as star of the show, revealing just how simple it is to create delicious one-pan meals that all of the family will love. Pulses are so versatile – you can roast, bake, fry, stew them, or make salads, soups, dips and snacks from them and reap the rewards of their nutritious goodness. Pulses – namely beans, peas, chickpeas and lentils – are full to bursting with protein and fibre, iron, potassium and folate. Drawing inspiration from across the globe, Claire showcases recipes that will inspire you to choose pulses as your budget-friendly midweek go-to ingredient. From Turkish Lentil Tomato Soup and Pasta e Fagioli to Pork Belly with Butter Beans and Sage, One Pan Pulses is a practical and dynamic source of kitchen inspiration.

The Veggie Family Cookbook is the new essential kitchen bible for year-round family cooking. Claire Thomson writes foolproof, delicious recipes that will please everyone around the table—as a professional chef and mum of three (two of which are vegetarian), she understands the challenge of whipping up tasty, crowd-pleasing dishes with vegetables centre stage, and all with minimum fuss at the end of a busy working day. With an emphasis on practicality and flavor, The Veggie Family Cookbook provides you with every veg-forward recipe you will ever need, whether you're a vegetarian family or simply looking for easy ways to get everyone eating more veg. Including Broad Bean Falafels and Spring Rolls for lunchbox heroes, Fried Rice with Tofu and loaded veg traybakes for speedy suppers, ideas for veggie feasts for celebrations and weekends, and fruity desserts that can be rustled up in no time, this book is jam-packed with inspirational ideas for the curious home cook.

Faced with the daily challenge of what to cook for her three young children, chef and mum Claire Thomson made it her mission to inspire parents stuck in a teatime rut. Every day she makes a proper tea, tweeting it at 5pm - from that her blog '5 O clock Apron' was born and a popular Guardian column on cooking for children followed. Claire wants to inspire other parents and invigorate the concept of family cookery. Cooking shouldn't be a chore, one meal for the grown-ups and another for the children. Claire's fresh, exciting meals are versatile and flavourful enough to please everyone around the table, encouraging parents to view food differently, to refresh their culinary imaginations and find real joy in cooking for their children. Featuring sections on milk, bread, grains, pulses, rice, vegetables, fruit and fish, 5 O clock Apron will engage and empower parents. Not just a recipe book, but a way of thinking about how to shop, cook, eat and celebrate as a family, Claire provides a unique insight, as both a mother and a chef, into what really makes food appealing for children.
