Seasonal Freezer Cookbook

In this refreshing, new approach to freezing, each of the four sections—Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter—has details on how to freeze fruits and vegetables when in season. There is also information on when these are either most economical to buy, or are available from the garden, and in optimum condition for freezing. All the recipes are specially designed to make the most of seasonal produce. Each season has recipes for delicious soups and starters, for meat, poultry, fish and vegetable dishes, and for cakes, breads and biscuits, together with instructions for freezing. The recipes have been written by three highly experienced home economists and cookery writers: Caroline Ellwood, Clare Ferguson and Carole Handslip. Jeni Wright, author of several top-selling cookbooks, has written the comprehensive introduction, which covers choosing a freezer, special equipment, freezing techniques, bulk-buying, packaging and defrosting. Charts provide quick references for seasonal availability and storage times. This beautifully illustrated cookbook is an indispensable guide for all freezer owners.
