hugbandit7 's review for:
This colorful cookbook is chock full of recipes that incorporates vegetables that are in season by the season. There are six sections including each season, start of the year, herald of spring, first warm days, and basics. There are even Flavor Maps which give you a place to start whether it is soups, flatbreads, fritters, or other dishes. Then it walks you through each step of deciding what to add from other vegetables, spices, to what to serve the dish with at mealtime. For a newer cook these are invaluable as it isn't a recipe to follow per se, but a guide to trying different spices or vegetables in the same basic recipe.
I like that this cookbook focuses each section based on what is in season because we all know that is when those fruits and vegetables taste the best. There are 250 recipes in this cookbook and you could make something different every day and not repeat any recipe for nearly a year. I'm sure you will find some favorites that will become a staple in your home.
The recipe that I am going to try first (because I have a picky husband) is Tomatoes with Whipped Feta. This is in the summer section and while not quite summer, close enough for me! Plus I love tomatoes and this looks like an easy side dish to make.
I have several other recipes tagged including Orzo with spiced tomato sauce and feta, Mini squash and chive dumplings, and Sea-salted chocolate and lemon mousse. There are so many delicious recipes I can't wait to try them all and see what my family thinks.
Overall I give this 4 1/2 paws up only because some of the ingredients are not common and might be harder to find in the store. The author is from the UK so some things may be easier for her to find than me without running around to multiple stores or shopping online for some of the less common ingredients.
