About this book

Unless you are a farmer, grower, or food expert, it is likely that your knowledge of what's in season and when is pretty slim. Despite a renaissance in British home cooking, coupled with a rediscovery of local produce through farmers' markets and enthusiastic celebrity chefs, many of us are missing some pretty crucial information.

Seasonal Food is organized into twelve chapters, one for each month of the year. Each chapter starts with a brief story about the month itself (what's happening in the farming calendar, food-related customs and traditions), followed by narrative sections covering what's in prime season – fruit and veg, meat, fish and other seasonally-influenced produce such as cheeses.

There are recipes with information such as traditions, best regions etc and other basic suggestions about preparation. And new for this edition and in response to a growing sophistication in seasonal eating in the UK, it features gourmet foods that you can't source locally. Discover when to get the finest nectarines or the best month to treat yourself to Vacherin cheese.

Media reviews

"A must for the discriminatingly greedy"
– Andrew Marr, Daily Telegraph

"This guide to food and the seasons is not a preachy, finger-wagging tome. It is written with a real delight in food and produce [...] and tells you not just when things are in their natural seasons, but when and why certain foods taste better at certain times of the year – and how to cook them"
– Aileen Reid, Sunday Telegraph

"The perfect reference book for all keen cooks, for all those fed up with all year round strawberries, and for all those who want an affinity for the seasons"
– Antony Worrall Thompson

"I like Paul Waddington's book. It seemed to me more than what it says on the cover with equally important advice on when things will actually be at their best. Obviously a labour of love for the author as well as a valuable companion for his reader"
– Shaun Hill

"A superb book and a must for anyone even remotely interested in cooking"
