Book Review: The Seasonal Cookbook by Diana and Paul Peacock ...

Paul Peacock has long been a guide to growing and producing food, authoring such guides as The Urban Hen, Patio Produce, and Chickens, Ducks, and Bees: A Beginner?s Guide to Keeping Livestock in the Garden. In The Seasonal Cookbook, Paul Peacock teams up with Diana Peacock and presents a month-by-month guide to cooking in-season food. In outlining the gastronomic, environmental, and personal benefits of eating seasonally, they encourage the many advantages of eating seasonally, teaching us that seasonal food not only tastes better, but reduces carbon emissions by reducing the need to transport out of season foods from the far corners of the globe.

The Seasonal Cookbook is a comprehensive guide to how and when to enjoy ?eating seasonal food that is grown and harvested when nature intended.? The Peacocks provide a summary of each month and season, giving a basic foundation to seasonal eating, illuminating such undervalued delights as eating eggs during ?egg season,? which lasts from May to November, a time when ?each hen should give a glorious egg each day.?

For each month, they also provide an ultimate three-course seasonal meal that serves four, as well as additional starters and light meals, main courses, and puddings and preserves. The May menu includes asparagus soup, dover sole with samphire tempura, and strawberry mousse cheesecake, posing, and through their recipes answering the question: ?How can you, in words alone, explain the joy of fresh seafood in the spring?? Organized in a month-by-month format, Paul and Diana Peacock make cooking seasonally approachable and manageable, removing all of the guesswork.

By sharing their delicious recipes and well-planned menus with us, they teach us how to become superior chefs utilizing superior ingredients, as nature intended them to be enjoyed. Fine restaurants have long used seasonal cooking to provide us with superior dining experiences, and through The Seasonal Cookbook, readers are able to learn how to provide the same quality to their families at home. Paul and Diana Peacock will irrevocably change your dinner table and your approach to food, while providing delicious recipes throughout the year.
