  At a time when we are constantly being reminded of how we have to reduce environmental waste, this book is the perfect guide to cooking using locally sourced produce. The benefits are obvious - by reducing your food miles (the distance which your food travels from the producer to your door) you are not only helping to save the environment but will also be eating fresher, better food at a time when it is meant to be eaten.Obeying the seasons is much easier than you might imagine - it is simply a question of knowing what is available. The 150 recipes are divided into five chapters: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Preserves and Accompaniments. Each chapter has a helpful introduction, with information about what is in season. The delicious recipes range from the classic to the innovative and include things like Spring lamb noisettes, Home-smoked trout with rosemary, Slow-roast onions with thyme and goat's cheese and Pear and chestnut tart.Packed full of recipes and with plenty of information and guidance, this is the perfect book for cooks who want to eat well by eating seasonally.
