I have a new (old) book out! My first book—The Cook and the Gardener—about cooking seasonally from a garden and about a crusty old French gardener whom I befriended when I worked as a cook at a château in Burgundy, France, was relaunched yesterday, on the 25th (26th!) anniversary of its original publication in 1999.
The recipes are mostly timeless French and Italian staples such as carrots with tarragon, braised lamb with peas, and jam crostata, and because they’re focused on the fruits and vegetables that are available each month, the recipes are pleasingly simple. When The Cook and the Gardener debuted, it was one of the early books to tout seasonal cooking, a shift in our understanding of food systems and flavor that still predominates today. I hope you’ll check it out. And if you want me to sign a nameplate for the book, email me at amanda@food52com, and I’ll send you one.
