A Dish for All Seasons
A Dish for All Seasons: 125+ Recipe Variations for Delicious Meals All Year Round
This book has a brilliant format: 25 base recipes from breakfast to dessert, and everything in between, with choose your own adventure-style ingredient shortcuts, then a more formal recipe for each season. Though the recipes themselves look delicious, and of course it makes sense to make a slaw differently in each season, the true excellence of this book is helping cooks to think more creatively about what’s in season and not get hung up on what is supposed to be in a recipe. This would be a lovely gift for a precocious cook just starting out, but has lots of room to grow (homemade ravioli anyone?).
