Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Grandmother Martin’s corn bread

    • KissTheCook on January 20, 2025

      Truly great fresh from the oven, slathered with butter. Company-pleaser. Turn out on wooden cutting board as he suggests--looks good and facilitates cutting.

  • Damson sauce

    • andrew_1tn7pj on March 02, 2026

      This recipe turned out well despite the fact that the battery on my kitchen scales stopped working and I had to guess the quantities and I had to make substitutions: olive oil for groundnut oil, powdered ginger for root ginger and red chilis for green chilis. It is sad that Jeremy Round died in 1989 just after the book was published. It has been on my bookshelf ever since.

Publishers Text

Jeremy Round was the first - highly-acclaimed - cookery writer for The Independent from its launch until his tragically early death. This, his only book, is a wonderful collection of his best recipes, presented in chronological order month by month. Round's emphasis on good produce eaten at its seasonal best shines through the book and his recipes are both innovative and practical: everything always works and everything is always delicious.
