I completely agree, Ana! I'd also check out writing by Edna Lewis and Patience Gray. When you look at recipes from a time before everything was at our fingertips it all just makes so much sense. A joy to read and a joy to cook! Fern Verrow is worth buying for the photography alone. Happy coking and reading!
Exactly, Bob! All of her books are marvellous for explaining not only what to cook and when - but why exactly you should cook it, too! A wonderful read.
Hugo what a thrill to be on this list. So kind and so lovely to know that a cook as good as you still looks at books
This is the most ludicrous comment I have ever seen!! I can't think of a list out there where one of your books wouldn't have a place, Anna.
Never heard of Fern Varrow! Will look up.
You would love it! And you can taste their produce (and buy their flowers) at Spring, too.
i love cooking seasonally and i love your selection! to be honest the last cookbook i didn’t know neither. So thank you for the great recommendation!
Ah I hope you like it, Lina! Thanks so much for reading.
I love eating with the seasons. It makes sense so much in terms of both flavour and sustainability.
Fern Verrow sounds like a wonderful book. I will seek it out.

Yes - Edna Lewis really pioneered this with her landmark first book, right?
