Jennifer Patterson's Seasonal Receipts: Over 100 Splendid Recipes for All Seasons

Jennifer Paterson has written more than a cookbook. Her chatty, slightly dotty style makes this book worth more than a passing look. The recipes are without doubt simple and delicious. They are useable by any cook of any skill level. What caught my attention was the references to Saints Days. While it intially struck me as odd, when I considered it a bit further it seemed to be appropriate to include Feast days in a cook book. All in all well worth buying if you have any interest in good food.

Classic Paterson from the Spectator. The Elizabeth David (but with more humour) from the back of the magazine
