Wholesome, yummy.... joyously healthy. - Sunday Times
Leon is renowned for its ethos of healthy fast food. So there's no need to feel guilty for indulging in the sweet treats in this collection of recipes from Leon's award-winning cookbooks. Treats such as Spelt Pancakes, Roasted Peaches, Clementine Polenta Cake and the vegan Good Chocolate Cake both taste good and do you good!
Leon was founded on the twin principles that food can both taste good and do you good.
When Henry Dimbleby, John Vincent and Allegra McEvedy opened their first restaurant, on London's Carnaby Street in July 2004, their aim was to change the face of fast food. Six months after opening, Leon was named the Best New Restaurant in Great Britain at the Observer Food Monthly Awards (by a judging panel that included Rick Stein, Gordon Ramsay, Nigel Slater, Heston Blumenthal, Ruth Rogers and Jay Rayner). In 2015, Henry Dimbleby and John Vincent received MBEs for their work improving the quality of school lunches. There are now 43 Leon restaurants.
Leon's bestselling books include Leon Naturally Fast Food and the recently published Leon Fast Vegetarian.
