Carolyn Caldicott’s Rosehips on a Kitchen Table combines old-fashioned recipes and tips for cooking seasonal ingredients sourced from the hedgerows, as well as local suppliers and farmers’ markets. The recipes combine unusual yet traditional ingredients such as nettles, rosehips and elderberries, as well as plenty of ideas for dealing with seasonal gluts and finding and cooking easily foraged food. There are chapters on Gleaning, Gluts, Growing your Own and Gathering (from shops or hedgerow) plus a section on how to make something out of the most unusual ingredients. Caroline’s tried and trusted recipes include delights such as Cob Nut and Rocket Pesto with Maris Piper and Parsnip Gnocchi, Sloe and Elderberry Cider, Wild Garlic and Heritage Potato Dauphinoise and Quince Poached in Vanilla and Cinnamon Syrup. Rosehips on a Kitchen Table is illustrated with Chris Caldicott’s evocative photographs of people, places and produce, conjuring up a nostalgic picture of the land, the changing seasons and times past.

Winner of an IACP/Julia Child Cookbook Award The "Julia Child of Chinese cooking" (San Francisco Chronicle), Barbara Tropp was a gifted teacher and the chef/owner of one of San Francisco's most popular restaurants. She was also the inventor of Chinese bistro, a marriage of home-style Chinese tastes and techniques with Western ingredients and inspiration, an innovative cuisine that stuffs a wonton with crab and corn and flavors it with green chili sauce, that stir-fries chicken with black beans and basil, that tosses white rice into a salad with ginger-balsamic dressing. Casual yet impeccable, and as balanced as yin and yang, these 275 recipes burst with unexpected flavors and combinations: Prawn Sandpot Casserole with Red Curry and Baby Corn; Spicy Tangerine Beef with Glass Noodles; Pizzetta with Chinese Eggplant, Wild Mushrooms, and Coriander Pesto; Chili-Orange Cold Noodles; Sweet Carrot Soup with Toasted Almonds; Wok-Seared New Potatoes; Crystallized Lemon Tart; and Fresh Ginger Ice Cream.

In this magical debut, a couple's lives are changed forever by the arrival of a little girl, wild and secretive, on their snowy doorstep. Alaska, 1920: a brutal place to homestead, and especially tough for recent arrivals Jack and Mabel. Childless, they are drifting apart -- he breaking under the weight of the work of the farm; she crumbling from loneliness and despair. In a moment of levity during the season's first snowfall, they build a child out of snow. The next morning the snow child is gone -- but they glimpse a young, blonde-haired girl running through the trees. This little girl, who calls herself Faina, seems to be a child of the woods. She hunts with a red fox at her side, skims lightly across the snow, and somehow survives alone in the Alaskan wilderness. As Jack and Mabel struggle to understand this child who could have stepped from the pages of a fairy tale, they come to love her as their own daughter. But in this beautiful, violent place things are rarely as they appear, and what they eventually learn about Faina will transform all of them.
