Genevieve Taylor

Food writer and stylist

I was totally smitten with this book the moment I opened it, it's a thing of great but subtle beauty and like many of my favourites, it evokes time and place simply beautifully. It's a book I love to curl up and get lost in, totally absorbed in Elizabeth's intimate portrait of both cooking and living in a wild exposed landscape. Being as well travelled as she is, the recipes span the globe, so this is not singularly Welsh cooking by any means, but the focus is always on a tight connection to the seasons, giving the whole book a gorgeous ebb and flow.
