From his past five years of working for "Homes and Gardens" magazine, Brian Glover has selected over 200 recipes for this cookbook, for all occasions. Based on his belief that food should be seasonal, full-flavoured and easy to cook, the recipes cover a range from everyday suppers to celebratory feasts. The book includes dishes such as lemon, cardamom and almond tart, sweet potatoes with chilli and cumin aioli, light summer dishes like salmon and grilled asparagus with a lime and cumin hollandaise, warming winter dishes and indulgent puddings. There are also ideas provided for using both well-known and unusual ingredients, and advice is given on storecupboard essentials. The introductions to each chapter contain advice and information to help the cook make the best use of seasonal and exotic produce.
