Before long, the team had established a weekly soup cafe and fuelled an obsession with soup that spread across the whole community. Soup for Good  shares our community's favourite recipes and tells the stories of some of its much-loved characters. With a foreword by Nigella, this beautifully illustrated book includes soups donated by our food-loving supporters, including former Prime Minster, Gordon Brown, Ed Balls, Karan Gokani, and Nigella herself, along with the food businesses who have helped us on our way.

Those who bought Soup for Good told us they loved the way it combined easy-to-cook and delicious-to-eat recipes with people's moving personal histories. So, knowing that our community had many more recipes and stories to share, we're following it up with a salad-focused book which proves that healthy doesn't have to mean boring. Salads for Good features more than 70 salads, dressings and toppings, including donated recipes from Jamie Oliver, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Claudia Winkleman and other Cook for Good supporters. Some are on the lighter side, others are chunky enough for a full meal; but they're all bursting with flavour and goodness, and perfect for sharing with family and friends. They also offer new and inventive ways to use accessible ingredients that readers might already have in their store cupboards and fridges. Additionally, the book includes moving stories from much-loved characters from our community, interwoven throughout. They speak about their connections with food, the power of communal cooking, and how focusing on health and wellbeing has changed their lives. Salads for Good is a high-quality, full-colour hardback book with a beautiful photo for every recipe. Chapters include:  *                Plant-powered salads packed with veg and flavour   *                Grain and bean salads to keep you going all day   *                Cheese-topped salads full of creamy richness   *           Carb-boosted salads that are deliciously filling   *                Protein rich salads that you can tweak to suit your guests   *                Dip-based salads for an exciting two-in-one option   *                Dressings and toppings that add punch and crunch    Salads for Good proves once and for all that salads deserve a central place at your table.
