Seasonal Food: A Guide to What's in Season When and Why Seasonal Food A Guide to Whats in Season When and Why, ISBN 9781905811366 and books by Paul Waddington on sale at thebookshelf.co.nz Unless you are a farmer, grower, or food expert, I bet your knowledge of whats in season and when is pretty slim. Despite a renaissance in British home cooking, coupled with a rediscovery of local produce through farmers markets and enthusiastic celebrity chefs, many of us are missing some pretty crucial information. I mean, whats the use of a fancy gooseberry recipe in November? You want to know whats good to eat now? And why? Without pouring through stacks of recipe books? You need this book. Seasonal Food is organized into twelve chapters, one for each month of the year. Each chapter starts with a brief story about the month itself (whats happening in the farming calendar, food–related customs and traditions), followed by narrative sections covering whats in prime season – fruit and veg, meat, fish and other seasonally–influenced produce such as cheeses. There are recipes with information such as traditions, best regions etc and other basic suggestions about preparation. And new for this edition and in response to a growing sophistication in seasonal eating in the UK, it features gourmet foods that you cant source locally. Discover when to get the finest nectarines or the best month to treat yourself to Vacherin cheese. About the AuthorPaul Waddington is the author of Seasonal Food and 21st Century Smallholder. He writes regularly for the Guardian and other broadsheet papers on food and environmental issues. He grows vegetables, keeps bees and lives as sustainably as possible in Yorkshire.
