Product Description
Continuing where her hugely successful Voluptuous Delights left off, best selling author Sophie Dahl offers up a seasonal almanac of bountiful dishes alongside warm food-filled memories and musings.
Taking a gastronomic journey through the seasons, from the Victorian Beeton era to a recent sodden Parisian evening, Dahl captures the smoke filled days of Autumn with a nostalgic Squash and Parmesan soup, the blooming warmth of an English garden in high summer with Grilled Peaches with Pistachios and Ricotta; and the burgeoning beginnings of Spring with a Butter Lettuce, Lobster and Crayfish Salad.
Bursting with moreish yet nutritious recipes for budding foodies and seasoned gourmets alike, stunning photography and Sophie’s delightfully quirky illustrations, this latest offering promises pleasure, indulgence and of course, simple, good food.

I was given Sophie Dahl's first recipe book, Miss Dahl's Voluptuous Delights, for a gift several months ago and loved it. She offers recipes that give that genuine home-cooked authenticity with a hint of nostalgia. When I saw this latest offering was coming out and the low price I decided to pre-order it. It arrived today and it's as lovely as expected, I've already got too many recipes that I'm salivating to try as soon as possible.
I love cookery books that are great just to read as well as functionally great to create tasty home-cooked meals from. This is such a book, it's beautifully presented with wonderful photography from Jan Baldwin. Even the pages are made from a lovely thick paper which is apparently sustainably sourced and is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council - it feels good quality anyway!
The book is themed on the seasons and start with Autumn which is then split into breakfasts, lunches and suppers. The rest of the seasons follow in order and are also split into the same three categories. There is a final section dedicated to puddings too. At the start of each season there is some preamble from Sophie which gives some insight into her life as well as linking how much food and the enjoyment of good food is integrated into her lifestyle. Many of the recipes also include some snippet of why she's included it in the book. It's just such a nice book to read.
Although I'm a meat eater, I live with a non-meat eater and both of Sophie's book are great for us because they offer a wide range of recipes - there is a good mix of non-meat, meat and seafood options here so foodie veggies and pescatarians (veggies who also eat fish/seafood) will have plenty to enjoy.
Highly recommended to those who enjoy the whole experience of choosing what to cook, cooking it and then eating it!

I like Sophie's approach to food, it's always homely, fresh, interesting and delicious. I love the presentation and the concept. I enjoy reading about her life and the photos make me feel that cooking will transport and transform me into a similar place. We have baked her banana cake from the previous book many times and it's always lovely.

Sophie Dahl's new recipe book is a delight - delicious, wholesome and seasonal recipes. It is beautifully written - warm and engaging and the presentation is unsurprisingly pretty and elegant - just like the woman herself! It's a great reference book for the kitchen or an attractive and entertaining coffee table book. I highly recommend it.

Too precious to cook
This is possibly the most annoying cookbook I have ever seen! Yes they all have as many pictures of the cook as there are of the food but this one also has pretensions of memoir in... Read more
