    A foodie turned poultry farmer offers a practical guide to raising chickens in this part memoir, part chicken and egg cookbook.   A love of eating and using quality ingredients led Tim Halket to build a hen house in the corner of his garden for a daily harvest of fresh eggs. Five Fat Hens is his insightful, often humorous, take on just what it’s like to raise chickens at home. More than a DIY guide to keeping a few free-range birds, this cookbook is part memoir and part lifestyle manual. Halket takes readers through an entire year, skillfully combining meditations on his passion for cooking with original recipes, all starting with the premise that even the smallest garden can include a supply of delicious, fresh eggs.   Neither a trained chef nor an experienced farmer, Tim’s tips and recipes draw on his learning experiences and love for culinary experimentation. With recipes ranging from the highly original Duelos y Quebrantos and Persian Chicken Supper to variations on everyday Italian or French classics, to simple comfort food, this timely book is an engaging account of one man’s appealing lifestyle that will inspire food lovers everywhere—whether they intend to keep chickens or not.   “Good recipes, engagingly told.” —The Spectator

    From the award-winning food writer: “A fascinating collection of recipes and folklore that shows how the year used to be structured around feasts” (The Telegraph).   From all over Europe—Scotland to the Mediterranean, Hungary to Cornwall—Elisabeth Luard has collected descriptions of traditional feasts and festivals, many of which she has experienced first hand, and hundreds of recipes for the dishes appropriate to them.   As well as being a unique and wonderfully readable cookbook, Seasonal European Dishes (previously published as European Festival Food) is written with the scrupulous attention to detail and authenticity that is the hallmark of Elisabeth Luard’s food writing. The recipes are peppered with hundreds of fascinating anecdotes and little known facts about local history and folklore.   Starting with December, the book is organized according to the months of the year, and so it importantly also reminds us of the cycle of seasonality that is now once again regarded as the natural and much more enjoyable way to shop and eat.
