I’ve Been Time Travelling, Struck Cookbook Gold & I’m Giving my New Cookbook Away for Free. I Must be Mad!

Posted on 2 March, 2011 by Danny

Now I’ve been having great fun working on my own cookbook. I’ve been getting it ready to unleash upon you hungry herbivores and open-minded omnivores and I am now pleased to say:

IT’S READY, IT’S DOWNLOADABLE AND IT’S FREE!!!

Just click on the link above or the image of the book below and hey presto, you’ve just got yourself a spankingly good cookbook for absolutely nothing!

It’s called The Caper Tree’s ‘Tasting Menu’ and it’s an ebook collection of all the recipes I’ve posted on my blog, plus a few new and exclusive recipes just for you all.

I wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has followed and supported me with ‘The Caper Tree’ and I can’t think of a better way of doing that than giving you all something back in return. (I could give you all money as a thank you but I’m not rich and I’m not stupid!)

Please feel free to tell everyone that here is a free, animal-friendly cookbook with great recipes available for download. Spread the good word and pass it onto your friends, enemies, hell anyone you can think of that would appreciate this, it is totally free after all! The only thing I ask is if you reproduce any of the recipes or material, you mention The Caper Tree and Danny Vice-Holt (that’s me!) when you do it. Continue reading →

MEAT SUBSTITUTES ARE FINE AT HOME, BUT THAT BETTER NOT BE TVP IN MY CHILLI, CHEF!

Posted on 4 February, 2011 by Danny

This is my modern take on the great 1970’s Scandinavian export, the cheese and meat fondue by throwing Japan right there into the mix. It consists of a dish of raw vegetables & tofu, some dipping brilliant dipping sauces and tempura batter. The idea is that like a fondue, you place the hot oil in a fondue bowl in the middle of the dining table and cook your food right there. You skewer your vegetable with your fondue fork, coat it in the batter and put it straight into the hot oil. After 30-45 seconds, it’s cooked and you remove it, placing it on a piece of absorbent cloth to remove any excess oil and then dip it in a sauce of your choice. BE WARNED, IT’S GOING TO BE HOT so you may want to put it on your plate and eat it with a knife & fork once it’s cooled. Continue reading →
