Grown in Britain Cookbook
By Carolyn Humphries, Donna Air
Dorling Kindersley - 2009
I love the concept of it - it starts with a month-by-month overview about which ingredients are in season, while the main part is arranged by ingredient, including a description, different types, storage, season, perfect pairings, and recipes. Very unfortunate then that two of the four recipes I made so far turned out to be a complete disaster! It looks like they just compiled recipes from different people without testing them properly. What a pity, as the basic concept of this book is really nice.
In a way, this book is comparable to The Middle Eastern Kitchen.
