Synopsis
'No one writes about food so beautifully...' London Evening Standard'Reading her recipes is almost as satisfying as making and eating them.' Daisy Buchanan'Diana writes like a dream' Daily Mail'This is an extraordinary piece of food writing, pitch perfect in every way. I couldn't love anyone who didn't love this book.' Nigella Lawson on How to Eat a Peach'...beautifully written and endlessly inventive...' Felicity Cloake, The Guardian, on Diana Henry's beloved culinary classic Simple'She has become the Delia of my generation' Clare Finney, The Telegraph'The food writers' food writer' Mark Diacono***For Diana Henry's many fans, her evocative writing about places, people and food brings just as much pleasure as her delicious recipes. Around the Table is a selection of some of Diana's very best essays, handpicked from over two decades of her beloved cookbooks.From the bustling Turkish groceries of the Edgware Road to the kitchen table of a cottage in rural France, a trattoria tucked away in the suburbs of Rome to the chilly Vermont countryside famed for its maple syrup, Diana Henry has followed her tastebuds around the world.In this collection, Diana's writing brings ingredients to life on the page. Tuck into salty and sweet, buttery and inky purple and black olives. Blood-red threads of saffron that turn whole platters of food into gold, bleeding yolk-yellow streaks over creamy chicken and milky white yogurt. Mouth-puckeringly citrusy, easy to peel and almost seedless Valencia oranges. The simple pleasure of a warming slice of toast.This vivid and nourishing collection of essays on the joys of good food is an utter delight for the senses.
