About GREEN

With Flip Shelton's GREEN, you'll never look at asparagus or pumpkin in the same way again. Flip combines a thoroughly modern approach to vegetarian food with an eclectic blend of bold and assertive international flavours.

With over 160 fresh and innovative vegetarian recipes, GREEN celebrates nature's finest ingredients, offering updates of old favourites, and recipes for the food we like to eat today, taking influences from Indian, Chinese and Mediterranean cultures.

Beautifully photographed by Greg Elms and with recipes that will have you saying "I can do that!", GREEN takes vegetarian cookery from hippy to hip and is certain to become an essential ingredient in every modern kitchen.

Vegetarian food has long been seen as the dumpy younger sister of its more glamorous carnivorous sibling. Now, in the shape of hip new cookery writer Flip Shelton, vegetarian cookery is whipping off its glasses, shaking its hair loose and hitting the food scene in a big way.

What the media said about GREEN

"Flip Shelton is definitely with it. A young Melbournian woman who runs in triathlons as well as running her own publicity business, she's the model of the confident, forward-looking, unfanatical vegetarian, as happy to eat the occasional fluffy choc-omelette for an indulgent breakfast as a virtuous tempeh-kombu combo or a cashew and celery soup. This is an easy, breezy, approachable book with light-hearted text and some good, quick ideas for health-conscious home cooks."
Necia Wilden, The Age.

"Ms Shelton - blonde, attractive, startling healthy in appearance, the antithesis of the stereotypical anemic vegetarian...may well end up being something of a white knight ...her obvious love of food will win a lot of us over, if only to more meat-free meals each week."
John Lethlean, The Age.

Flip has written five kids' books published by Rigby Heinemann including "What a Great Idea", "Animal House", "Billy's Secret", "Tim's Pumpkin" and "Making the News".

Dear Jack, published by Random House in 2000, is a collection of break up letters by famous and infamous Australians. Flip edited this with her good mate Kate Langbroek.
