Description

"You could cook non-stop from this book for, indeed, a year, without ever getting bored! With over 200 recipes, and with an expansive flavour palette, it is a boon for those in a cooking rut." – Nigella Lawson

"this book is very timely... and there are so many wantable dishes here... Among the dishes calling me are sausage and fennel focaccia rolls; squash baked with beer, cheese, cream and pretzels; and cherry Bakewell pudding." – Diana Henry, Telegraph

"What a beauty... imaginative, appealing recipes grounded in good sense... you can taste the experience, that these are lived recipes." – Rachel Roddy

"the one cook book you really need this autumn is this practical work from the ever-inventive Thomson" – Independent

"One of my tests of how much I am excited by a new cookbook is how many recipes I feel driven to mark with a Post-It note. With Home Cookery Year I suddenly realised I was Post-It noting nearly every page." – Bee Wilson
