Brighten bleak winter days with Emma's recipes

Delicious. magazine

You're engaging not only with the natural world but with the year's cycle in a way that grounds you in time and place and makes something from the here and now ... I believe that's something that can have vast - and perhaps unexpected - value ... That a book should act as inspiration or catalyst to even one reader makes the writing of it worthwhile ... [This book] will reach thousands

Melissa Harrison, Caught by the River
