Margaret Costa's Four Seasons Cookery BookPaperback, 2 December 2020

This book is organized according to the seasons, and within each one there are also themed chapters. This is a modern classic which no cookery collection should be without.

Originally published in 1970 and re-issued by Grub Street for the first time in 1996, our new edition hit the bestseller lists and went on to sell over 20,000 copies and its reappearance was praised by contemporary cookery stars like Nigel Slater, Delia Smith and Simon Hopkinson. Also in that year Margaret Costa was honored at the prestigious Glenfiddich Awards. Margaret Costa came to prominence by replacing Robert Carrier as the Sunday Times cookery writer, and although this was her only significant book, it's hugely influential and was named by Observer Food Monthly as one of the top 50 cookbooks of all time. The book has stood the test of time and indeed many of those writers who praise her also admit that they have taken their inspiration from her wonderful writing. The book is organized according to the seasons, and within each one there are also themed chapters such as "Olives", "Comforting Breakfasts" or "Proper Puddings". This is a modern classic which no cookery collection should be without.
