Good Things (inbunden, eng)

This is one of Jane Grigson's greatest collections of recipes for delicious things to eat from the freshest and finest ingredients. The reason for reissuing this book is because it is Jane Grigson's celebration of the seasons and the foods they bring and seasonality is now the top priority of all those who take their eating and cooking seriously.

She says in the introduction to the original edition published in 1971:"I feel that delight lies in the seasons and what they bring us...the strawberries that come in May and June straight from the fields, the asparagus of a special occasion, kippers from Craster in July and August, the first lamb of the year from Wales, in October the freshest walnuts from France where they are eaten with new cloudy wine.

This is good food...The encouragement of fine food is not greed or gourmandise; it can be seen as an aspect of the anti-pollution movement in that it indicates concern for the quality of environment. People in many parts of the country run restaurants specializing in locally produced food, salmon from the Tamar, laver and sewin from the Welsh sea, snails from the Mendips, venison from the moors of Inverness."How prophetic she was when she pointed out to us the importance of locally-produced, fresh food and she wrote those words over half a century ago! The book is divided into sections covering Fish – kippers, lobster, mussels and scallops, trout; Meat and Game – meat pies, salting meat, snails, sweetbreads, rabbit and hare, pigeon, venison; Vegetables – asparagus, carrots, celery, chicory, haricot beans, leeks, mushrooms, parsley, parsnips, peas, spinach, tomatoes; Fruit – apple and quince, gooseberries, lemons, prunes, strawberries, walnuts And importantly the book contains the recipe for her famous curried parsnip soup.
