Stephanie'S Seasons by Stephanie Alexander
Stephanie's Seasons is a seasonal account of Alexander's culinary year. Taking the form of a personal diary of her food adventures in 1992, it covers a wide range of ground. There are accounts of a trip to New Orleans, making thousands of jars of produce for the annual Harvest Picnic, the passing of Elizabeth David and her contribution to food writing, cooking during the Los Angeles riots, running a restaurant in a tough recession, spending a month in a beautiful old farmhouse in flood-ravaged Provence, and constant adventures in the quest for new and superior produce. Stephanie's Seasons is a food book seeking to entertain and enthuse the reader about food. It contains 80 recipes as well as hand-coloured photographs.
