 Rating: - A book not just for Aga owners, as the recipes feature conventional cooking instructions, too!`Nothing drives me madder than when I go to someone's house for dinner and they serve asparagus in mid winter. Please note this if I ever come round for dinner! Try to plan your menu and your cooking around the season and your Aga.' 192 shiny, high quality pages, split over the four seasons along with sections entitled 'the knowledge', and `seasonal produce`, which includes a basic `larder' checklist, plus an introduction and a full index. Each of the four main chapters includes a `what's in season' list, at the start, followed by a list of seasonal recipes for soups/starters, main courses/meat, main courses/fish and seafood, main courses/vegetarian, accompaniments and desserts/baking. Then follow the recipes. Charming notes head up some ingredients and recipes e.g. Ramsom `Ramsoms are wild garlic. You may see them growing by the roadside in early spring. Where I live on the Isle of Wight, we have loads of them and I have some in my garden - if you do grow them, be careful as they grow like wild fire!' e.g. Risotto `Risottos are wonderful. I think they were originally peasant food using local seasonal ingredients, so almost anything goes! Making a risotto in the traditional way is not suited to an Aga unless you are not cooking anything else for a while (the 20 minutes' cooking time would kill off a lot of stored heat) but my Aga method is easy and even a hardened purist (who shall remain nameless!) had to admit that my risotto is the business...........' Each recipe has a clear ingredient list and method. The book is, perhaps, a little sparse on `dish' photography, which may prove slightly negative to those of us who like to see what we are aiming for - e.g. `Choucroute Garni'. Having said that, the ones that are included are simply - well, `mouth-watering`, such as `Baked Ricotta Cheesecake`, `Somerset Cider Braised Pork Belly` and `Queen of Puddings`! Some `on-location' shots, also. In this book, `old favourites', e.g:- Fairy Cakes Crème Brulée Creamed Spinach Lemon Risotto Tomato Ketchup Apple Sauce Crumble Toppings mingle with lesser well-known ones:- Rack of Veal with Spring Leeks Baked Egg with Potted Shrimps Milk and Honey Jelly Butterflied Lamb with Baby Fennel Summer Fennel Slaw Crab Tart Isle of Wight Kitchen Clam Bake Lemon Verbena Tisane Truffled Scrambled Eggs on Sourdough Toast Roast Duck with Pumpkin Sage Mash A special mention - from page 146, the most delicious `Apple Cake' served with `Apple Butter' (which has no butter!), from page 148.
