Inspired by seasonal eating, Skye Gyngell has assembled her favorite ingredients and given them star treatment in casual, stunning recipes. The lush flavor combinations are daring but not at all fussy, and her mindful use of ingredients and simple techniques result in utterly embraceable food.
Her sixteen favorites range from single items like cherries, chocolate or honey, to more complex categories, like shellfish. There's lots of wiggle room in each chapter to find what you crave, and even in the dead of winter the possibilities for something sumptuous are at your fingertips. Sometimes a category is a little less accessible, like game birds, for instance, but after reading the recipe, heck, you kind of want to track down a partridge even if you have to go out and shoot it yourself. Oddly enough, after reading the recipe, I noticed that my butcher advertises partridges. Live, learn, and eat well.
