More Leon for Conran

Conran Octopus has acquired two further books from the healthy fast food chain, Leon—Leon Family & Friends and one other.

Publisher Alison Starling bought world rights in the two books from Anthony Topping at Greene & Heaton, with Leon Family & Friends to be published as a £25 hardback in October 2012. The second, as-yet-untitled book, will be published in October 2013.

Leon Family & Friends will include 200 recipes for "everything from post-school snacks to super-quick suppers for time-poor parents".

Starling said: "Working with Leon is an inspirational and very enjoyable experience. They are hugely passionate about what they do and their emphasis on making healthy food fun and fuss free translates really well into a cookbook format. Like their stores, the cookbooks have a loyal following and Leon 4 will delight their fans while also offering something fresh in terms of the book's design."
