The Kitchen Cookbook. A Cook's Guide to Seasonal Recipes

From the first strawberries of summer to the crackle and aroma of chestnuts cooked on an open fire - each season has its own delights to tempt our changing tastes and appetites. This book is a delightful collection of recipes designed for those who want to cook and eat fresh food which is at its best, and usually at its cheapest too, and that is when it is in season. Divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter for easy reference, each season begins with a chart listing the fruit vegetables, herbs, fish, meat, poultry and game which are at their best at that time of the year. The recipes which follow incorporate these foods and also reflect seasonal eating habits such as high teas, barbecues and preserving. Finally there is a Feast Day section which includes both information on and approprate recipes for festival and feastdays from all over the world. Some of the recipes are simple, others more sophisticated, but all of them are designed to enable you to make the most of fresh food at its best, whatever the time of year. Illustrated.
