The Cannon Hall Farm Cookbook : Seasonal recipes and stories from a Yorkshire farmhouse kitchen by Richard Nicholson

With Cannon Hall Farm's first cookbook, Richard Nicholson, the regularly-watched cook of the family, brings together their favourite recipes using seasonal ingredients from the Farm, alongside stories and memories associated with the dishes. A hardback, beautifully photographed feast of the seasons, The Cannon Hall Farm Cookbook shares stories, family recipes and tempting dishes for every time of the year from the Nicholson farming calendar. Richard says:Food has been a huge part of mine, and my family's journey. Food is about search and discovery. Food is reward for curiosity. It is inspiration and enlightenment. Food has the power to transport us back through the decades. Smells, tastes and recipes can bring back people, places, and experiences from the past in vivid technicolour. At Cannon Hall Farm, we believe that food can be therapy. That the simplest of pleasures can be the most memorable and worthwhile. We all love sharing our family recipes, and writing this book has brought back memories of people who are no longer with us, but who have played a precious part in our journey. There's nothing quite so evocative as food, and all families that love good food will have a well-thumbed, and much-loved recipe book. This is ours. This book is a journey into our family folklore, with tales from the past, alongside recipes that we've grown to love. A celebration of the dishes mum loved to cook when we were kids, through to the dishes inspired by her, and other friends and family, and on to those that I love to cook today. I hope this recipe book becomes food splattered, and dog eared, in the way that the best cookery books do. I hope that ragged pieces of paper, and hastily written notes nestle within its pages - bookmarks on your own food journey. I hope it becomes loved in the way we have loved the family and friends who played their part in it.
