This is one of Jane Grigson's greatest collections of recipes for delicious things to eat from the freshest and finest ingredients.
This new hardback edition is being reissued because it is Jane Grigson's celebration of the seasons and the foods they bring, and seasonality is now the top priority of all those who take their eating and cooking seriously.
She says in the introduction to the original edition published in 1971, "...I feel that delight lies in the seasons and what they bring us... The encouragement of fine food is not greed or gourmandise. It can be seen as an aspect of the anti-pollution movement in that it indicates concern for the quality of environment"
The book is divided into sections covering fish, meat and game, vegetables and fruit. It also contains the recipe for her famous curried parsnip soup.
