Harvest
In Harvest, Christine shares not only her favourite recipes, but her passion for growing things and taking food straight from the garden or paddock into the kitchen.
When she first arrived on the farm, she thought life would be all about slow-cooked meals and long lazy days, be she soon had to adjust to the reality of farm life.
This meant that the way she cooked had to change too, to become more seasonal and a lot less fussy.
Her recipes are a combination of quick (not fast) food using the best organic ingredients and slower, more indulgent meals using the best that her farm produces.
She shares tricks for keeping the pantry full of things to keep hungry boys happy and to help get a healthy, delicious dinner on the table with the minimum of fuss.
From baskets full of heirloom tomatoes and home-raised pork to bottles of their own organic wine, Harvest takes us into the kitchen of an organic farm to explore an organic lifestyle and its delicious benefits.

Delectable
A passion for food is a gift that I love to share... with rolled-up sleeves and my hands covered in flour, a rather messy glass of superb red on the side.
Or picking sun-warmed blueberries on the way home from a French village market, a basket filled with asparagus, artichokes, blood-red tomatoes, lambs lettuce, fresh bread and Comte cheese over my arm...
This quote encapsulates the essence of Delectable, the sharing of a food and wine journey from Cape Town, South Africa to medieval Charroux, France... and all the exquisitely beautiful little lunch breaks in between.
Delectable is more than just a cookery book... it's about good living as much as it is about good food.

Roast Figs, Sugar Snow: Food to Warm the Soul
A new Diana Henry book is an occasion. Her dishes are never less than delicious.
This cookbook didn't seem to get the recognition it deserved. As Diana Henry isn't of the "celebrity chef" culture, it's no wonder why. A shame, as it's one of the most beautiful cookbooks I've ever seen and one of my personal treasures.

Sunday by Mallory Saleson
For Mallory Saleson food is a passion.
It starts with thinking about a particular dish or menu and possible variations and interpretations, then looking for the freshest and simplest ingredients, moving to actual preparation that allows her to free her mind and create, and to finally share the finished dishes with family and friends in a relaxed atmosphere.
Sunday lunch evolved into the key event of the week, many times involving friends and colleagues who joined the author and her family around the table.
Mallory Saleson looks forward to Sunday as a time to relax and share, and what better way than to prepare a meal that could serve four or become a buffet for 16.

The book also features fifteen menus for weekday meals and entertaining such as cheap and cheerful weekday suppers, Italian and Spanish evenings and even a fast drinks party.
