Home Cookery Year: Four Seasons, Over 200 Recipes for All Possible Occasions

Product Information

Claire Thomson, who has made something of a habit of releasing practical, down-to-earth cookbooks over the past five years. Some cookies are essential to the functioning of the site, but others are non-essential for analysis and marketing. It’s about making food for yourself and the people you love with the time you have on hand — quick and easy recipes for busy weeknights along with recipes perfect for the weekend because they may take a bit of time. Even the recipes under the ‘leisurely weekend cooking’ headings are only listed as such because of the time they take, or the mess they’ll make.

Add one tablespoon of the peanuts and all the cherry tomatoes and pound or blitz a few times, just to bruise the tomatoes and release some juices. And in that time there were sixty-seven English reprints, an astonishing number; which makes it even more inexplicable that Domestic Cookery vanished in the twentieth century. With all the lovely savory recipes I’ve made from Home Cookery Year, there are many enjoyable dessert recipes too — since it is the season for apples here, I baked up the Caramel Apple Cake. Slice or shred the apples with a peeler or cut them into matchsticks (peel them, if you prefer), putting them straight into the bowl of salted water to prevent discolouration.With a few (very rare) exceptions, you’ll be able to get all the ingredients from your local supermarket.

This book lets you opt firmly for column A, whilst avoiding the obvious titles and throwing in some unexpected regional dishes to boot.There is something very old-fashioned about the the title of Claire Thomson’s new book, but there is nothing remotely fusty or quaint about the recipes in it, which are as vibrant as the book’s cover. With Home Cookery Year, Claire Thomson has created exactly what she intended to: a five-star all-rounder that you will be using on a weekly basis for years to come. Try to get hold of some Thai basil – it has a pungent, slightly spicy flavour redolent of liquorice and anise, quite different to standard sweet basil, which has more minty, grassy notes.

Those of you who follow my reviews will know that my husband and daughter have an aversion to cauliflower, so I’m always on the lookout to redeem one of my favourite vegetables.We then read about Mrs Rundell in the Guardian – when the John Murray Archive went to the National Library of Scotland there was an article about her because her bestselling cookery book was the foundation for the success of John Murray as a publisher. Add the lemon zest and juice, then the rocket (arugula) and avocado and check the seasoning, adding more salt and pepper to taste.
