I have recently bought it and despite slavering over her, I also think think that the book is a cracker. It makes a good read and some of the recipes are sublime and most are inspiring.

Obvously one to get if it has a chapter on rhubarb.

Is it a silly question - what is the book called ? Sarah Raven's Cookbook ?

I know I'm a girl..... but, Trousers can slaver over Mrs. Raven completely anytime. What an inspirational lady. The Garden Cookbook is just wonderfully inspirational, in my humble opinion, and the photographs, just stunning.
Well, what can I say about the actual recipes? To absolutely die for.
Ten out of Ten for this book, the author, the photographer, the contributors, and anybody wot has the sense to buy it. Absolutely superb....
Did I say I loved it?!!

It is terrific, I love the way it is laid out seasonally and by vegetable, so if you have a glut of, say, Jerusalem Fartichokes, there are a couple of different ways to cook them. She's particularly good on unusual veg, like borlotti beans, JAs, different kales.

The only downside is the price - RRP £30, so I have a copy from the library on permanent loan!

Cheaper from Amazon - I think it was £17 from memory. Money well spent. I've lent mine out to a friend - who used to teach cookery at a senior school. It certainly is inspiring.

I "accidentally" passed by this book on 2 different occasions before Christmas, (once with OH, and once with teenage son) pointing out what a fabulous book it is and how much I would LOVE IT, and hoped it would be in the sales, etc (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)

I got SHOES for Christmas!

They'd probably be happy for the "meat" content!
I'm cutting down on how much meat we eat for better quality (yes Hugh I did listen to what you said) and they're sulking.
