In this new book, the follow-up to his bestselling River Cottage Cookbook, Hugh writes about the year on his Dorset smallholding. He recalls, month by month, the highs and lows of past years, and anticipates the 12 months ahead -- what'll be in season when, and when'll be the best months to crack on with such tasks as chick rearing and sheep shearing, haymaking and hedge laying. But, for all its outdoorsy information, the real focus of THE RIVER COTTAGE YEAR is indoors -- at Hugh's kitchen table. With over 100 brand new recipes, this is above all a cookery book and for once a genuinely seasonal one, celebrating local seasonal produce at its very best - chestnuts in January, artichokes in March, rhubarb in April, asparagus in May, strawberries in June, blackcurrants in July, tomatoes in August, plums in September, apples in October, pumpkins in November and parsnips in December! Full of his hard-earned smallholder's wisdom, seasoned with his infectious good humour, THE RIVER COTTAGE YEAR is Hugh's rallying cry for us to reclaim the seasons.

Summary: My favorite cookbook, bar none
Comment: There are several recipes in this cookbook--the one for batter-fried pollack comes to mind--that in themselves justify the purchase of the book. But what really makes this volume special is that almost ALL of the recipes are that good. Literally more than half of them are in heavy rotation in my kitchen.
I trust Hugh F.-W.'s tastes and techniques so fully that several times I have cooked a dish from this book for the first time when I had guests coming. The results are always delicious.
Although several of the recipes are quite easy, this is not a book for people interested in convenience food. It is for people who care about quality whole foods and want to learn superlative, yet earthy, ways to cook them.
