If you've ever wondered what to do with that knobbly celeriac, or stubby Jerusalem artichoke, at the bottom of your vegetable delivery box, the answer could lie in The Veg Box, a compendium of 14 recipe books packed in a lifelike wooden crate.

There are 300 recipes for 30 vegetables, so you'll not be short of inspiration. If cakes and biscuits are more your thing, check out the Sugar & Spice collection, which comes in a biscuit box presentation. There are 16 mini books in this set. They're published by Hamlyn and are widely available in bookshops nationwide (€25).
