House & Garden A Year in the Kitchen

Book excerpt: 'The elegant simplicity and style of every word and picture in this book are a joy.' JEREMY LEE 'An engaging and inspiring book of food that is a real pleasure.' CLAUDIA RODEN 'I love the flavour-dense simplicity of Blanche's recipes, with the garden at their heart. This is exactly how I want to eat.' SARAH RAVEN 'Blanche Vaughan combines easy-to-achieve recipes with an inspiring voice that encourages experiment, whether you are cooking a simple supper for two or a special occasion feast. Her calm and reflective attitude to cooking is mirrored in the beautiful photographs, while her emphasis on seasonality truly makes it a book for all seasons.' ALEXANDRA SHULMAN 'These are the recipes I cook at home, dishes that I turn to throughout the year because they answer a craving for a particular thing to eat at a particular time. The recipes evolved from ideas for what to cook and what I chose to include in the food pages of House & Garden each month: a reflection of our appetites, the food growing then, the weather, how we are living and eating each season.' BLANCHE VAUGHAN A Year in the Kitchen, written and curated by Blanche Vaughan, Food Editor of House & Garden, shares more than 150 deliciously easy recipes inspired by the seasons. Recipes include: - Asparagus Carbonara (Spring) - Summer Greens & Soft-Cheese Pie (Summer) - Pumpkin Soup with Gruyère and Sage (Autumn) - Claudia Roden's Chicken with Sweet Wine and Grapes (Winter)
