River Cottage Fruit Every Day!

Bloomsbury Publishing, 2013. Hardcover. Very Good. Fruit is pretty much the perfect food: bountiful, delicious and colourful, it also helps us to fight infection, stresses and strains. But why are we s till a nation that thinks it's a bit racy to slice a banana onto our cornfl akes in the morning? A 'piece of fruit' in a lunch box, on the breakfast ta ble or at the end of a meal is all very well, but fruit is so much more exc iting than this, and we don't eat nearly enough of the stuff. Perhaps this is because we don't always understand how to use it in our cooking, or how to choose the best fruit for the season. Hugh sets out to address this head on. With 180 delicious recipes, River Co ttage Fruit Every Day! will show you how to enjoy a broader eating experien ce and make fruit easy, fun and irresistible. You'll find recipes for all t he wonderful seasonal fruit that grows in this country, and learn how to ma ke the most of fruit from other parts of the world. Recipes include marinat ed lamb and fig kebabs; barbecued pork chops with peaches and sage; venison stew with damsons; and parsnip and apple cakes. There are also fresh and z ingy salads as well as gorgeous cakes, tarts, pies, crumbles and puddings. With glorious photography from Simon Wheeler, this book will bring amazing new fruity vitality and flavour to your food.
