Product Description

Product Description
An inspired collection of traditional and modern recipes that capture the essence of the English summer and its popular pastimes. The many occasions that mark an English summer and the foods that make them special have long inspired us to cook. Cake stalls at a village fete, picnics on the beach, cricket club teas and a garden lunch or barbecue are all made more pleasurable with the right food and drink. The English Summer Cookbook captures the essence of the season with recipes created for such popular pastimes. Summer is also a time when English gardens are at their best, with even the smallest plot yielding fresh herbs and plump produce. Farmers' markets burgeon with fruit, vegetables, juices and jams and pick-your-own farms open their gates to crowds of berry-lovers. Doversole, crab and lobster are fished by small in-shore boats, hedgerows yield elderflowers for their heady cordial and early walkers collect mushrooms for a country Sunday brunch. From the first of the season's asparagus to the last of the juicy ripe plums, the English summer has some of the best produce around. Another strongly held English tradition is that of embracing new ideas, especially when it comes to food and cooking. So picking liberally from both the traditional and more modern ideas, The English Summer Cookbook presents an irresistible mix of food and drink.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recipes my mother should have taught me., 17 Jun 2005
By Dr. J. MacIntyre (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a beautifully shot book with recipes that take me back to the endless summers as a child. The recipes are clear and simple, extolling the use of quality seasonal ingredients. The basic bread recipe is already a family favourite as is the blissful strawberry mousse. If there is one cookbook you should buy this summer it should be this one. Never has summer been so beautifully recreated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Evocative of long hot summers - remember them?!, 15 Sep 2008
This is a lovely book. Gorgeous photos throughout, obviously taken when we still had long hot summers. Chapters included are: early summer lunch, cake stall, beach picnic, fruit pickers high tea, midsummer barbecue, shellfish supper, cricket club tea, celebration lunch, farmers market, allotment harvest supper, preserving bee and end-of-summer lunch. Even those titles evoke summery feelings.... The recipes are simple and uncomplicated - the sort I like without great long lists of random ingredients. But they all make me want to cook them and taste the creations! Everything I have tried so far has worked well - lovely flavours!

Recipes include:

Roast early lamb
Double chocolate mint brownies
Tomato soup
Date and coconut bars
strawberry mousse
Cod roased in the wood oven (with instructions for conventional ovens!)
Crab cakes with tartare sauce
Salmon pasties
Black olive and sun-dried tomato bread
Haddock, potato and corn chowder
Eggy bread with jersey cream and crushed fruit
Roast belly of pork with roast fruit
Smoked red pepper and chilli jam
Raspberry or blackberry gin or vodka
Swiss chard and gruyere quiche
Creme fraiche icecream
