'How many recipes do you make from a typical cookbook? Three? Four? It's not often I come across a book where I want to cook every single one.' – TONY TURNBULL, The Best Cookbooks of 2023, Times

'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

'Seasonal, simple and sensational.' – INDIA KNIGHT

'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.'
