Roast figs, sugar Snow - curl up, keep warm - enjoy! August 31, 2008
Beautiful book based around winter cookery. Diana Henry spent 5 years travelling around various chilly parts of the globe and has come up with a stunning collection of recipes. Just flicking through the book makes me long for snow filled days and family around the table. All the recipes I've tried out have turned out perfectly and friends have asked for the recipes - what more recommendation do you need?!
Recipes include:
Alsation Tarte Flambee
Celeriac and Potato Mash (with stilton and grilled spring onions)
Russian Curd Cheese Pancakes
Pecan and Pear Upside-down Cake
Pumpkin Tarts (with spinach and gorgonzola)
Vermont Baked Beans
Roast Beetroot Salad (with orange and goat's cheese)
Stuffed Quail (with marmalade and whisky)
Roast Squash (with porcini cream)
Seared Scallops (with bacon and jerusalem artichoke puree)
Russian Smoked Fish Pie
Steamed Apple and Marmalade Pudding

There are not many books that I would cook a whole dinner party from without doing a trial run. This is the only one I can think of. I totally respect Diana Henry for her brilliant, beautiful book and her delicious recipes. Really she is far more reliable than Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson, and in fact surpasses Delia Smith too in my opinion. Absolutely delicious. Try the roast squash with porcini cream. Very, very easy, sublimely delicious.

This cookbook didn't seem to get the recognition it deserved. As Diana Henry isn't of the "celebrity chef" culture, it's no wonder why. A shame, as it's one of the most beautiful cookbooks I've ever seen and one of my personal treasures. In her wonderful recipes and photos she captures New England, and especially the Vermont of my childhood, perfectly.

`A truly unique collection of wintry recipes which celebrate some of the world's most overlooked cuisines by using produce that can be found on our own doorsteps`.
Although winter cooking seems so far from these BBQ days of mid-Summer, `Roast Figs, Sugar Snow' makes us look towards the winter with real warmth!
`Beef Pie with Wild Mushrooms and Claret`, followed by `Peasant Girls in a Mist', a cake with apples and cinnamon or a 'snow biscuit' - just whets your appetite for winter reading and cooking!
Cooking in winter is about keeping warm on the inside, as you gather friends and family around the kitchen Aga.
The result of five years of travel and research, Diana compiled this book of recipes from `colder climates`, being originally inspired by childhood memories of `sugar snow', a `magic food' from inside a tree that could turn into sweets.
Who isn't intrigued to read this lovely book of 192 high quality pages, split over 12 chapters, interspersed with Jason Lowe's stunning photography and snatches of wintry poetry?
Excellent price, at Amazon, as usual.
