MarthaJeanne Two British cooks giving their favourite recipes using various kinds of fruit. The big difference is 1980 vs 2010. Both include savoury recipes as well as sweet. Slater includes garden tips. Grigson includes more recipes from other countries. If you like fruit you probably want both.

It was a mistake reading this in April/May when I have to wait for fruit to start ripening.

This is a lovely book both for the garden and the kitchen. I know I will be pulling it out again and again as the various fruits become available. My one complaint is the silly 'ct' character.

What a wonderful and different cookbook. The book is comprised of recipes which center around fruits & nuts fresh from the garden/orchard, but is not limited to desserts, jams/jellies or condiments. Main & side dishes are included: Post roasted Guinea Fowl w/ figs, Roast duck legs w/ squash & Blackberry/apple sauce, Mint/peach Tabbouleh, Slow roaster pork loin w/ quinces & Marsala, and Black grape focaccia.

Included are: Apples, Apricots , Blackberries, Black Currants, Blueberries, Cherries, Chestnuts, Damsons, Elderflower/berries, Figs, Gooseberries, Grapes, Hazelnuts, Peaches/nectarines, Pears, Plums, Quinces, Raspberries, Red Currants, Rhubarb, Strawberries, Walnuts & White Currants.

I found this cookbook to be filled with a large show more variety of new & fresh mouth watering recipes. show less
