    5.0 out of 5 stars A truly delicious read
    Reviewed in Italy on May 6, 2021
    I have not yet tried any of the recipes, but I have read the entire book. The recipes sound divine, and have sparked off a whole set of possible variations in my mind, some of which I have even jotted down. The best cookery books are not always meant to be followed slavishly, but to induce creativity in the reader. A mimimum of cookery knowhow is of course required, but "Roast Figs, Sugar Snow" instigates innovation and experimentation in the most flavoursome way.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A stunning collection of recipes for cold winter days
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 15, 2018
    Whilst I prefer cookery books in paper format, I've snapped a few gems at 99p for the ebook. Downloaded to a tablet, this is colourful, easy to follow and with numerous hyperlinks, it's very easy to navigate.

    Diana Henry is one of my favourite food writers and I have a few of her books. She always manages to make even the the mundane sound exciting or exotic and I enjoy the way her recipes have a story as well. This book is very much about winter warmers; root veg, slow cooked meat anything that's 'cosy, warming and life affirming'.

    She's gathered a stunning collection of recipes which will appeal to cooks of any level. The recipes are headed under Cheese, Nuts, Pumpkin/Squash, Winter Veg, Game, Pork, Smoked Food, Apples and pears, Plums and Damsons, Herbs and Spices, Hedgerow and Maple Syrup. There's also a comprehensive index. I've tried and enjoyed a few of the recipes; there's nothing complicated and ingredients are easy to obtain. The smoked haddock tart with spinach and cheddar was a notable success and used a surplus of garden spinach and frozen Arbroath smokies. Red cabbage and cranberries is very easy and is an excellent side dish.

    The recipes are inspired, the writing is informed and mouthwatering and I love this book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't be without it.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 23, 2018
    It's a book that I return to often, especially if friends/family are coming over. Without fail someone asked to look at the book or the name then went and bought it. Not only are the recipes good but the description and story behind the recipes are a fantastic, vivid read. She even makes cheese sound fantastic. I am not a cheese person, I'm a cheese ignoramus, I'd love to be one of those people who can sit at a cheese board and savour the lot but unless it's cheddar or goats cheese I just can't like it. I do try but cheese and I. Not friends. But this book makes me want to ignore the hard lesson of years of trying and hating cheese.

    It really tided my lot over the Beast from the East.

    This is a lovely book with loads of ‘different’ recipes to try - I am so pleased with it that I think I may have to buy the hard copy.

    Superb recipes that really inspire the mind and please the palate...and not a hint of that ridiculously affected trend for three peas in an arc with three dots of raspberry coulis masquerading as food !
