Cooking with the Seasons: A Year in My Kitchen by Hooker, Monique and Tracie Richardson - 1997

New York: Henry Holt, 1997. 413 pages. Inscribed, signed and dated by author. Growing up on a family farm in Brittany, the author witnessed both the changing seasons and the changing menus that accompanied them: Asparagus with Roasted Garlic and Ham in April, Scaloppine with Chanterelles in September, and Poached Cod with Saffron Sauce to keep out the chill of December. Here she passes on the lessons, both the wisdom and the recipes, she learned at her mother's table. Organized by months, each chapter includes a menu for a special occasion (Easter dinner in April or a bridal dinner in June), in addition to many other recipes calling for ingredients that are readily available at the particular times of year. She presents more than 200 recipes and the love of simple seasonal food shines through every page. The book and its dust jacket are in As New condition with no apparent defects, inside or out! . Signed by Author. Stated First Edition. Hard Cover. As New/As New.
