Organic veg box company Riverford has released a cookbook to celebrate its 40th anniversary. 

The Riverford Cookbook: Easy Evenings contains over 100 recipes that can be plated up in 40 minutes or less, and has been created in response to growing demand for quick, simple and nutritious meals. 

The book also contains meal planners, shopping lists, season ingredient guides and an A-Z veg recipe finder. 

Riverford founder Guy Singh-Watson formally established the company in 1986, and has seen the business grow from distributing organic vegetables to just 30 local homes to delivering around 70,000 boxes each week. 

Singh-Watson said: “This cookbook is about helping people cook simple, adaptable family meals in 40 minutes or less with recipes that fit into busy lives while still making the most of great seasonal ingredients.”

Designed to make the most of what ingredients users might already have in their cupboards, each recipe contains simple substitution ideas.

Dishes include sticky orange tofu poke bowls, bombay baked eggs, cabbage and chorizo gnocchi hash and cheesy carrot tacos. 

Emily Lloyd, food lead at organic veg box company, Riverford said: “The daily question of ‘what to have for dinner?’ can get really boring, and it’s easy to turn to the same few recipes time and time again if they feel familiar and easy to make.

“I want people to feel more confident, creative and free when it comes to cooking, and I hope the book helps build that confidence while making the most of a veg box,” she added.
