The New English Kitchen: Changing the Way You Shop, Cook And Eat

by Rose Prince, Giacomo Bretzel (Photographer)

Acclaimed food writer Rose Prince's guidance on making the most of local availability and seasonality, keeping a well-stocked store cupboard, growing staples such as herbs, and peppering our diet with luxuries such as Parma ham, figs, and wonderful cheeses shows that The New English Kitchen is not so much a cookbook but a plan, one that will endure as a practical manual for future generations of cooks.
