Having written several titles under the 'River Cottage' banner this is Mark Diacono's first publication under his own name. It tells a warts an' all story of a year at his own smallholding in Devon. It is beautifully written and photographed and was a real collaboration between the author, editor and publisher. A wonderfully delicious project to work on.
"This is my book of the year. Very occasionally you find a book where each facet – the writing, the photographs, the design, the recipes – have come together in a way that makes complete sense, where you can feel the author’s presence and personality in every aspect of it. That is the case here…"
