"Slowly savour this swoonworthy ode to artisan creativity, idyllic food and the good life."
I'm a city dweller but this book made me fall in love hook, line and sinker with life in the country. It's a love letter to the countryside where you collect your eggs from your hens and ducks each morning, and find porcini mushrooms growing in the lane you walk along most days.
It's about people, about food, and a celebration of the master craftspeople who have given their lives to their art.
Kate Humble, humble by name and humble by nature, delivers another stunning book which is a gift to anyone that beholds it. The pulchritudinous photography. The beautiful blue ribbon bookmark.
Humble showcases twenty people whose stories are told in this book. Artisans who have inspired these recipes from the countryside. Cherry compote inspired by Amanda and her willow bassets. As well as some lovely other things to go with it. The dishes are stunningly simple, delicious and easy and quick to make.
No, really. The leek and pea frittata is to die for, the french onion soup will become a staple in our household. Emsie's Hazelnut Meringue Roulade. Utterly divine. And I can't wait for better weather as this book will transform our trips to the countryside, and upscale our camping cookery with the campfire hotdogs and fabulous firepit inspiration.
Page by page of beautiful piles of foods are presented. Simple. Fresh. Stunning. Seasonal fruit boards. Casseroles and stews. Bread. Seasonings. Fish. Meat. Cheese. Preserves. Fruit. Chocolate and Drink. Humble handles it all with aplomb and I am entranced with it all. Also maybe frantically searching up homes on RightMove.
Dedicated to the brave of heart and free of spirit, this beautiful book is a star. A shining light. And so good for the soul.
