With growing public opposition to food miles, Mark Hix's new book couldn't be more timely... he only advocates only eating seasonal, local food. With a sourcing guide to unusual produce,Hix's recipes evoke forgotten flavours which are sure to revive interest in now obscure foods, from mutton to meddlars... this book is destined to be a kitchen classic. "This book makes me salivate. It is inspirational rather than finger-wagging- and i tick off greedily the recipes I want to cook. What's more, the illustrations are enchanting." --Nigella Lawson in Delicious Magazine, December 2008
