With more than 100 recipes to explore, this book encourages you to make the most of fresh, locally sourced ingredients throughout the year. From breakfast bowls brimming with goodness to indulgent evening meals, Kate’s approach is about savouring every moment and sharing good food with those you love.

In spring, Kate’s recipes embrace new beginnings with dishes like A Ham Sandwich on Beer Bread crowned with sharp Piccalilli, and an irresistible Spring Chicken flavoured with wild garlic and accompanied by tender new potatoes. A splash of Rhubarb Vodka adds a playful twist to garden gatherings. In this season of growth, Kate inspires you to celebrate nature’s bounty by choosing produce that bursts with vibrant colour and refreshing taste.

As summer arrives, sun-ripened tomatoes meet succulent steak in a dazzling partnership enhanced by a wild salsa verde. The aroma of elderflower jellies lingers, conjuring sweet memories of long, lazy afternoons. For a delightful twist, Summer in a Teapot blends fruity notes to create a comforting beverage perfect for picnics or evening celebrations. Kate’s summer recipes capture the essence of warmth, bringing family and friends together around a shared table.

Autumn’s abundant harvest takes centre stage with comfort classics such as Beet Bourguignon, offering a hearty vegetarian alternative. Apple Crumble Ice Cream with Blackberry Ripple serves as a playful treat that blends nostalgia with innovation, while Butternut Tea Loaf warms every slice with earthy sweetness. As cooler days set in, these recipes showcase the deep, comforting flavours of the season, inviting you to slow down and savour nature’s autumnal gifts.

Winter’s chill is no match for Kate’s hearty Soda Bread made with oats and black treacle, delivering robust nourishment. Serve it alongside Sausages in Red Wine, a cosy dish brimming with comforting aromas, or finish a meal with a vibrant Clementine Cake paired with an orange and pomegranate salad. These dishes radiate warmth and celebration, proving that even in the coldest months, fresh and fulfilling meals are within everyone’s reach and Home Cooked.
