The River Cottage Cookbook
by Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall
What I really like is it’s about what food should be: sustainable. I like that he talks about how to plan your garden and your larder at the same time. And he ends up with dishes that sound very yummy – just making the most of, for example, a pork joint by roasting with three or four veg, and maybe a spice to pull everything out and make it a bit more exciting. It’s not by having 100 exotic ingredients that the recipe becomes nice, just the fact you use the perfect produce at the perfect time.
