The Parlour Cafe is a tiny whitewashed cafe in Dundee

that changed the food landscape of the city when it opened nearly

six years ago. Serving fresh, feisty,mainly vegetarian food, owner and

chef Gillian Veal may have created a local institution, but her inspiration comes from

further afield and reflects a whole social, relaxed way of eating more common in Southern

Europe and the Middle East.

Read what Joanna Blythman said about it in the Sunday Herald.

The Parlour Cafe Cookbook covers everything from indulgent brunches, super-food

salads and flavour-packed soups to kick-ass, stand alone main dishes, via deceptively easy tarts

and extremely unwholesome cakes. It's a beautiful, hand illustrated book packed full of the useful,

simple, and most of all fantastically tasty dishes that are so loved in the café - and it makes

a great Christmas present so why not buy a few and give a bit of foodie love this year?
