Description

Companion to her prize-winning Vegetable Book, Jane Grigson's alphabetical guide to fruit advises us on selecting the finest fruits in season, cooking them in sweet or savoury dishes, serving them as desserts or as treats on their own. From apple to water-melon, including the familiar and the exotic, Jane Grigson's Fruit Bookis a work to treasure. 'Scholarly and erudite, witty and learned, from time to time hilariously funny.' Paul Levy 'I take as much pleasure in reading Jane Grigson's show more lyrical yet well-researched and intriguing introductions to each subject as I do in executing her recipes.' Susan Campbell, Observer show less

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.
