Jennifer Paterson has written more than a cookbook. Her chatty, slightly dotty style makes this book worth more than a passing look. The recipes are without doubt simple and delicious. They are useable by any cook of any skill level. What caught my attention was the references to Saints Days. While it intially struck me as odd, when I considered it a bit further it seemed to be appropriate to include Feast days in a cook book. All in all well worth buying if you have any interest in good food.

I recently acquired everything that the Two Fat Ladies have published. This book, "Seasonal Receipts" is among the best. Real food for real people, the recipes are accompanied by interesting stories salted with Jennifer's tremendous wit, and peppered with tales of her beloved saints. This is simply food that you want to eat. With some anthropology thrown into the mix, this book is delicious.

Classic Paterson from the Spectator. The Elizabeth David (but with more humour) from the back of the magazine
