## Description

The beautiful new edition of Diana Henry's classic Crazy Water, Pickled Lemons is OUT NOW *** Food Book of the Year at the 2019 André Simon Food and Drink Book Awards 'A masterpiece' - Bee Wilson, The Sunday Times As featured on BBC Radio 4 The Food Programme 'Books of the Year 2018' 'This is an extraordinary piece of food writing, pitch perfect in every way. I couldn't love anyone who didn't love this book.' - Nigella Lawson Shortlisted for the Irish Book Awards - Eurospar Cookbook of the year 'Diana Henry's How to Eat a Peach is as elegant and sparkling as a bellini' - The Guardian 'Books of the Year' 'I adore Diana Henry's recipes - and this is a fantastic collection. They are simple, but also have a sense of occasion. The recipes come from all over the world and each menu has an evocative story to accompany it. Beautiful.' - The Times 'Best Books of the Year' '...her best yet...superb menus evoking place and occasion with consummate elegance' - Financial Times 'The recipes are superb but, above all, Diana writes like a dream' - Daily Mail 'Any book from Diana Henry is a joy and this canny collection of menus and stories is no exception' - delicious (As featured in delicious. magazine Top 10 Food Books of 2018) 'You can always rely on Diana Henry. Her prose is elegant and evocative, her recipes pure and delectably international. This is perhaps her best yet' - Tom Parker Bowles, The Mail on Sunday 'Essential Cookbooks Published This Year' 'No one quite captures a place, a moment, a taste and a memory like she does. If you've been there before, you're transported back but if you haven't not to worry, she takes you there with her' - The Independent 'Best Books of the Year' 'The stories associated with the meals are what draw you in' - The Herald 'The Year's Best Food Books' 'A life-enhancing book' - The London Evening Standard 'Best Cookbooks To Buy This Christmas' ' ...enchanting, evocative menus.' - iPaper 'One of my favourite food writers with a book of 25 themed menus that I can't wait to cook. This is top of my wish list!' - Good Housekeeping 'Favourite Reads to Gift' When Diana Henry was sixteen she started a menu notebook (an exercise book carefully covered in wrapping paper) in which she wrote up the meals she wanted to cook. She kept this book for years. Putting a menu together is still her favourite part of cooking. Menus aren't just groups of dishes that have to work on a practical level (meals that cooks can manage), they also have to work as a succession of flavours. But what is perhaps most special about them is the way they can create very different moods - menus can take you places, from an afternoon at the seaside in Brittany to a sultry evening eating mezze in Istanbul. They are a way of visiting places you've never seen, revisiting places you love and celebrating particular seasons. How to Eat a Peach contains many of Diana's favourite dishes in menus that will take you through the year and to different parts of the world.

Review: easy to follow and function well - Diana Henry needs no introduction to those who cook (and read) for pleasure. This, her 10th or 11th (I've lost track of all in my collection) is likely her most intimate book, telling the stories of menus and travels. The 100-odd recipes are divided by season and arranged in easy-to-do menus evoking a very clear perception of place. The recipes are clear, easy to follow and function well: the four I've cooked in the 2 weeks since my copy arrived all had spectacular flavour with minimal fuss. Last night's crepes with salted caramel & sautéed apples a perfect ending to an early-winter meal; the autumnal fig cake over the weekend a precise bit of mastery to a non-baker. The leg of lamb with green herbs & garlic managed to do what I thought was not possible: improve on our local lamb's natural flavours. Photographs are clear and the home-cooked versions look near identical to what is shown. Even if you're not the cook at home, this is well worth buying - Mrs Henry's writings alone make it a very worthwhile read. In the words of TS Eliot:: "we shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started, and know the place for the very first time." Her sense of place, through time and food and menu, is exquisite.
Review: Food, time and place - “In an outdoor restaurant on our last night, diners at a neighbouring table were given a bowl of peaches for dessert. They halved, pitted and sliced them, dropped the fruit into glasses and added cold moscato. They left them to macerate for a while. Then they ate the slices, now flavoured with the wine, and drank the wine, now imbued with the peaches. I didn’t just think this was a great idea (though it is), I was bowled over that something so simple was considered as desirable as a slaved-over bit of patisserie.” Thus Diana Henry explains the story behind the title. Ms Henry is a master (mistress?) of the combination of the simple and the exotic and flavoursome, and even on a first read I think this new book is going to rank among her best, and something of a return to her finest form. Some of her more recent books – don’t get me wrong, they’re very good cookbooks - I thought began to play the numbers game a bit more and perhaps “sacrificed” a certain level of (average) quality for quantity. Look on your bookshelf and see how thick “Food From Plenty” and “Simple” are in comparison to the earlier “Crazy Water, Pickled Lemons” and “Roast Figs, Sugar Snow”. So here we are stepping back a little and are being somewhat more selective, concentrating a bit more on quality, with recipes grouped by theme. The theme is around time and place; each of the 25 sections is a menu of 4 or 5 items for a meal which evokes both a particular season of the year and a particular place – it might be by the Bosphorus in Istanbul, before the evening’s passeggiata in Naples, or simply a Sunday lunch at home. This is a cookbook to enjoy leafing through, but more importantly, this will be a cookbook to actually cook from. And cook from a lot.
