Good Things

This is a collection of recipes that specialize in using first-class ingredients: recipes for lobsters and kippers, for hare and venison, for asparagus and haricot beans, for sorb apples, medlars and quinces, for the ceps and chanterelle mushrooms of our woods. There are chapters on how to prepare snails (and how to find the right ones), how to make fruit liqueurs and water ices, how to deal with squid and construct a raised pie. Jane Grigson twice won the Glenfiddich Writer of the Year Award.
