The Aye-Aye and I by Gerald Malcolm Durrell
Eat well for yourself and the planet, with this delicious collection of 130 plant-based recipes. We think everyone should eat more plants, and we don't just mean two carrots instead of one - it's about enjoying all the colors of the veggie rainbow. Vegetables too often play second fiddle in a dish, and this book is here to change that. With spiced rhubarb chutney, fennel gratin, and roast sweet potato with miso & ginger caramel, Eat Plants, Be Happy puts veggies back exactly where they should be: at the centre of a meal. With 130 simple, delicious, vegetable-focused recipes, authors Caroline Griffiths and Vicki Valsamis show how eating plant-based means eating well - and ensuring a happier mind, body and planet.
Gerald Durrell was born in Jamshedpur, India, in 1925. He returned to England in 1928 before settling on the island of Corfu with his family. In 1945 he joined the staff of Whipsnade Park as a student keeper, and in 1947 he led his first animal-collecting expedition to the Cameroons. He later undertook numerous further expeditions, visiting Paraguay, Argentina, Sierra Leone, Mexico, Mauritius, Assam and Madagascar. His first television programme, Two in the Bush, which documented his travels to New Zealand, Australia and Malaya was made in 1962; he went on to make seventy programmes about his trips around the world. In 1959 he founded the Jersey Zoological Park, and in 1964 he founded the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust. He was awarded the OBE in 1982. Encouraged to write about his life's work by his brother, Durrell published his first book, The Overloaded Ark, in 1953. It soon became a bestseller and he went on to write thirty-six other titles, including My Family and Other Animals, The Bafut Beagles, Encounters with Animals, The Drunken Forest, A Zoo in My Luggage, The Whispering Land, Menagerie Manor, The Amateur Naturalist and The Aye-Aye and I. Gerald Durrell died in 1995.
