Peerless - well, almost!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 29 October 2010

Verified Purchase

Anyone reading my reviews knows by now that I am a practical home cook; I don't like "star" chefs, or glossy photographs every other page - what I want is information, ideas, and technique. Jane Grigson provided all these wrapped up in erudite, entertaining prose. The only pictures here are illustrative line drawings of the fruit, and each double page spread typically offers 2 - 3 recipes - giving a total of over 500 for the book. For each fruit, the recipes are preceded by a fascinating and fun history section, a discussion of varieties, and how to prepare and use them. The recipes cover all aspects of use. For example, the section on oranges includes sauces, salads, fish and fowl dishes, crepes, ices, cakes, marmalades, drinks, and more! As well as the obvious, the book covers all the exotics you are likely to come across in supermarkets such as lychee, mangosteen, carambola, persimmon, etc.. An Appendix discusses, amongst other things, mixed fruit recipes, preserves, pastry, biscuits and bread, creams, sugars, and ices.

The only competitor for this book that I know of is Nigel Slater's Tender Vol 2. But, Jane's classic is more comprehensive, covering a greater range of fruit and with more recipes. Also, having the lightness of a paperback and being so well written, Jane's Fruit Book is a great read on a long train journey! On the other hand, Nigel scores with information on growing fruit, his often unique recipe ideas, and much superior production quality - you simply can't beat hard cover and a place marker for books that will be used as much as these. My solution? Buy them both!

The very best fruit recipes

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 23 April 2021

If you only have space for two or three cookery books, the Gregson books are the best, as they contain recipes from a wide range of authors, cultures and ages, which are very easy to follow. So nice that they are back in print - I used to give them as presents.

Absolute kitchen essential, along with her Vegetable book....be inspired whatever you've got in the fridge!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 28 October 2016

Wonderful book...should be on every cook's bookshelf! A great companion to have in the kitchen, along with her Vegetable book. Having both means you can be cheered and optimistic when you find fruit or veg lurking in the fridge...your heart will no longer sink, because you just have a quick look in these great books and hey presto! Ideas, recipes and Jane Grigson ' s inimitable style. And for those days you don't feel like cooking, this is a great read!

Probably the most comprehensive and enjoyable book on the subject

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 28 May 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a book which is a total pleasure to read and have. There is clearly a a lot of research and historical detail on each fruit, and one can be totally assured that all the recipes have been tested and success is guaranteed. I am absolutely delighted to have it.

Fruit Book By J Grigson

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 20 October 2013

Verified Purchase

Another of Jane Grigson's masterpieces providing all you need to know on Fruit. It covers everything and provides many tips too in her very readable and instructive style. It must be in your kitchen library along with some of Elizabeth David's work too!It mirrors the style of Grigson's Fish Book or it may be vice versa dependent on the publication dates.Never mind the trivia get a copy and if its an old penguin book copy you get its a bargain too!

Good fruit recipes, second hand - all OK

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 19 December 2014

The book came on time and is nearly as useful as the vegetable cookery book she wrote. The copy was clean and the previous owner had left a slip of paper in it with a recipe written on it -which made me smile.
