Book 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. Praise for Miss Dahl's Voluptuous Delights:
