A Cook's Calendar: Seasonal Menus
By Frances Bissell
Chatto & Windus - 1985
I bought this book a few years ago but have never really warmed to it - largely, I suspect, because the author goes into a good deal of detail about exactly what wines she serves with the dishes and my mind immediately pegs her as "rich and pretentious". However this is probably unfair; there are plenty of recipes in the book which are neither rich nor pretentious, and I'm determined to give it a proper trial and amend this review according to the results.
