A Year in the Kitchen

'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

'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.'
