Product Description

Review

?Jane Grigson''s Fruit Book . . . is probably the most complete volume of all the fruit from apples to watermelon, with not only brilliant direction but good solid recipes. Judith Hill''s glossary to the American edition is of enormous help. This fills a most important need on the cookbook shelves. James Beard -- James Beard

5.0 out of 5 stars Intelligent, inspiring kitchen classic Sep 16 1998

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

Jane Grigson has a chatty, readable style which inspires you to try recipes purely on her recommendation as she clearly writes with such knowledge. The book is organised with a section for each fruit, arranged alphabetically. There is an introduction to each which includes snippets of the fruit's history and occasional literary references. If this sounds rather worthy / stuffy then don't be put off. The temptation to read an entire section before trying a recipe is irresistible. It is ideally organised if you have been out shopping or picking and would like an inventive way of using your bounty. If you feel you are ready to move on from Delia Smith then this is a sure path of progress.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful book Oct 20 2011

By Zandra - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I was so glad that this book has been reprinted, Miss Grigson's books are always a joy. Cookery with a bit of wit and history thrown in. A great book when you have a couple pieces of fruit and need to produce a tasty dish, or when you have that sesonal fruit glut. Many of the dishes are simple but very very good.
