Review

Some of us may be aware that the seasons influence our lives in some way or another, whatever our age, lifestyle or occupation. One of the most important aspects of our lifestyle which is influenced by the seasons is the food we eat.

This delightful Seasonal Eating handbook invites us to spice up our diets, no matter what the season. It provides useful tips on the essential range of ingredients that we should keep stocked up in our cupboards throughout the year in order to produce successful seasonal dishes.

This step-by-step guide takes us through each season and points out the common foods which are at their optimal state to consume at that particular time of year.

It also provides exciting new sweet and savoury recipes to try and each method is accompanied by colourful appetising pictures to aid the cook and to show them what the end result should look like.

This book is also nutritionally informative to the reader as it makes us aware of the various nutrients which are found in different quantities of food: for example, it gives advice and illustrative information on the best way to cook vegetables in order to maintain their vitamin C content.

The guide offers handy hints on how to be successful on growing your own vegetables and how this hobby can be truly rewarding. On the other hand if you are not the green-fingered type why not follow the guide and buy your greens from the local grocers, as they are found to be far fresher than those which have been flown halfway across the globe.

By using this fascinating book, seasonal eating will maximise the nutritional value of the food and lead towards a balanced and healthier mind and body. --Louise Coyle
