Home Cookery Year: Four Seasons, Over 200 Recipes for All Possible Occasions

Product Information

There are inspired takes on classic game recipes, simple yet irresistible desserts by the dozen and, most outrageously of all, a recipe for Duck and Damson Bao that is as good as anything I have in my healthy collection of far more specialised Chinese cookbooks.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Quadrille Publishing and Raincoast Books for providing me with a free, review copy of this book. Thomson’s straight-forward approach and practical application of her expertise means that from the outset, tHome Cookery Year is a joy to navigate.In this special 50th anniversary edition - with gorgeous gold-foiled cover - there are 50 new recipes to try along with the much-loved classics from previous editions. What Thomson aims for is a cookbook that is timeless that will be as good in the future as it is now. And this year, like every other, the big names like Nigella and Jamie are going to get the lion’s share of the sales. Though she has aspirations towards the simple, accessible and everyday cooking of all your mum’s favourite TV chefs of the 70s, her taste buds are firmly of the moment. We endeavour to safely package everything, but cannot be held reliable or responsible for breakage due to postage.

This little work would have been a treasure to herself when she first set out in life, and she therefore hopes it may prove useful to others. With Home Cookery Year, Claire Thomson has created exactly what she intended to: a five-star all-rounder that you will be using on a weekly basis for years to come.As she says in her introduction: “I’d like the contents of this book to be evergreen, a little like some of the cookbooks my mum had (and still has) sitting on her kitchen shelf at home.
