This unique collection of recipes celebrates some of the world's most overlooked cuisines by using produce that can be found on our own doorsteps.

Editorial Reviews

British author Henry (The Gastropub Cookbook) presents a soul-stirring collection of winter comfort food as warm and welcoming as a cup of hot cocoa on a snowy day. Henry warms readers with mulled wine, rich Onion and Cider Soup and a Camembert-topped slice of toasted bread, a pumpkin tart with spinach and gorgonzola and Stuffed Quail with Marmalade and Whiskey. Henry's Eurocentric lineup includes regional favorites like Romanian Bean, Smoked Bacon and Sour Cream Soup, Sorbronade (essentially a simpler cassoulet) and a Tagliatelle with roast pumpkin, sage, ricotta and smoked cheese from northern Italy. She also offers dishes from this side of the pond, such as a Quebecois Mussel Chowder with Cod and Cider as well as classic baked beans. A tendency to ramble, waxing poetic about the wonders of pears or cranberries, but is all a part of Henry's charm. Peppered with snow-filled snapshots, the work as a whole makes a kind of greatest wintertime hits.

Henry is the food columnist for the Sunday Telegraph Magazine and was twice awarded the Cookery Journalist of the Year by Britain's Guild of Food Writers. Her fourth cookbook (after Pure Simple Cooking) is an appealing collection of winter dishes from the Northern Hemisphere (including northern Italy, France, Russia, Switzerland, and Vermont), certain to make cooks yearn for a long winter. Instead of the usual New England clam chowder, Henry presents Quebecois Mussel Chowder with Cod and Cider. Sure to appeal to cooks in chilly climes; highly recommended.—Library Journal

One of my very favorite cookbooks, especially for chilly days. I do use this book in moderation because most of the recipes are rich, but they are definitely worth the splurge. However don't think "comfort food" the recipes are sophisticated but easy. A fantastic book for cold climates.
