In this new book, the follow-up to his bestselling River Cottage Cookbook, Hugh writes about the year on his Dorset smallholding. He recalls, month by month, the highs and lows of past years, and anticipates the 12 months ahead - what'll be in season when, and when'll be the best months to crack on with such tasks as chick rearing and sheep shearing, haymaking and hedge laying. But, for all its outdoorsy information, the real focus of THE RIVER COTTAGE YEAR is indoors - at Hugh's kitchen table. With over 100 brand new recipes, this is above all a cookery book and for once a genuinely seasonal one, celebrating local seasonal produce at its very best - chestnuts in January, artichokes in March, rhubarb in April, asparagus in May, strawberries in June, blackcurrants in July, tomatoes in August, plums in September, apples in October, pumpkins in November and parsnips in December...Full of his hard-earned smallholder's wisdom, seasoned with his infectious good humour, THE RIVER COTTAGE YEAR is Hugh's rallying cry for us to reclaim the seasons.

My wife purchased this, got here in short order, she seems to like it.

Good for readers of any nationality who want a way to think of how food gets from farm to the plate. Also, some great rustic recipes, feel free to substitute ingredients if you don't live in the UK. Hugh would approve!

There are several recipes in this cookbook--the one for batter-fried pollack comes to mind--that in themselves justify the purchase of the book. But what really makes this volume special is that almost ALL of the recipes are that good. Literally more than half of them are in heavy rotation in my kitchen.

I trust Hugh F.-W.'s tastes and techniques so fully that several times I have cooked a dish from this book for the first time when I had guests coming. The results are always delicious.

Although several of the recipes are quite easy, this is not a book for people interested in convenience food. It is for people who care about quality whole foods and want to learn superlative, yet earthy, ways to cook them.

I love all of Hugh's cookbooks and recipes. This was a disappointment though, I suppose I didn't do enough research. I thought this was going to be a compilation of the recipes in his four seasonal shows (Winter's on the Way, etc.). I've not had a chance to cook up many things, but I feel confident that this will not surpass my favorite of Hugh's cookbooks, River Cottage Everyday.

I'm a big fan of cookbooks which are more than just a list of recipes and over-styled pictures of them. This cookbook is one you can actually 'read'. Recommended.

I don’t expect to actually cook most of these purely traditional British recipes. But the book’s approach to a seasonal kitchen makes for great reading AND plenty of tips and suggestions. Be prepared for continental measurements, but consider buying “Jot and Mark chef’s conversion chart magnet” here on Amazon. It’s a big help with British recipes and cooking shows. It’s a favorite fun gift! Meanwhile, the book arrived in like new condition, with FINE service.

Das buch bietet eine Reihe netter und leckerer Rezepte die sich mit unterschiedlichem Aufwand realisieren lassen. Zum regulären Preis sehr teuer, aber den Gebrauchtpreis von Marketplace war es mehr als wert .

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 16, 2008
There is only one point where I've got to criticize Hugh FW - his recipe for goose. Believe me, you don't wont it half raw but really well done. If you never tried it like that, you don't know what you missed. I'm german and goose has always been the traditional christmas roast in Germany, so I really know what I'm talking about. A good goose of about 5 kg needs about 5 hours at 175 °C, 200 °C for the last 90 minutes to crisp up. Taking into account that you've got to check and baste the bird regularly and be a bit flexible with cooking time, that should give you a really tender and moist bird. Having said that, the rest of the book is really great. I tried a lot of the recipes which all turned out fine. The "Broccoli with Anchovy and caper mayonnaise" and the "Lightly salted relatives of cod in beer batter" were true revelations and there are many more! The book is quite a good read, too and beautifully laid out, you don't miss glossy pages here. I'm sure you won't be dissapointed by it.

I gave this book 5 stars because it's recipes are great fun and easy for a normal person to make. I also enjoy the fact that this book has helped to give seasonal variety to our diet and encouraged us to at least try some things we wouldn't normally.

Made the shin of beef recipe today and it was awesome.

Thank you HFW and all at River Cottage.
