    Book SynopsisThis new work by Peter Brears, perhaps Britain’s foremost expert on the historical kitchen, looks at these important elements of cooking and dining. A series of chapters looks at the cooking departments in large households: the counting house, dairy, brewhouse, pastry, boiling house and kitchen. These are illustrated by architectural perspectives of surviving examples in castles and manor houses throughout the land. There are chapters dealing with the various sorts of kitchen equipment: fires, fuel, pots and pans. Sections are then devoted to recipes and types of food cooked. The recipes are those which have been used and tested by Peter Brears in hundreds of demonstrations to the public and cooking for museum displays. Finally there are chapters on the service of dinner and the rituals that grew up around these. Here, Peter Brears has drawn a strip cartoon of the serving of a great feast (the washing of hands, the delivery of napery, the tasting for poison, etc.) which will be of permanent utility to historical re-enactors who wish to get their details right.

    Book Synopsis'Whether you're a cook, a painter or a crafter, you'll find something here to keep you leafing through the pages.' Alice Zaslavsky, author of In Praise of VegAround The Kitchen Table is an invitation to pause our busy lives - even for half an hour - and cook, create or make something good every day. Written by food writer Sophie Hansen and her mum, art teacher Annie Herron, it celebrates the joy and sense of satisfaction that comes with preparing a simple meal to share, pencilling a sketch or making a jar of jam to give as a gift. Organised into seasons, each chapter is packed with inspiration and encouragement, including bright spring lunches and easy preserves, how to start and finish a watercolour painting at the beach (or anywhere!), generous picnics for summer days, the joy of Christmas baking and craft, cosy suppers, autumn sketching adventures and slow cooking and drawing games for cold winter afternoons.'The kitchen table is the beating heart of any home and Sophie Hansen brings us into hers with her new book Around the Kitchen Table. Sophie's natural warmth, excellent and comforting recipes and prowess for simple crafts combine on these pages to bring us something so delightful and joyful that I honestly can't wait to bring these ideas to life on my own kitchen table. This book is not just about food and crafts, it's about bringing some lightness and joy into our lives.' Danielle Alvarez, author of Always Add LemonTrade ReviewA kitchen table is a holder of memories. A collector of little moments that amount to a life well lived. With mouth-watering nostalgia, this book captures those dreamy moments of childhood and whisks you away to happy places filled with sunlight and laughter. A joy to get lost in...

Sophie's encouraging, sunny voice and Annie's lovely crafty prompts make everything feel achievable and fun, for all ages. Whether you're a cook, a painter or a crafter, you'll find something to keep you leafing through the pages, and easy company all the year through." Alice Zaslavsky, author of In Praise of Veg'Life, laughter and the joy of cooking and creating shines through every page of this gorgeous book.' Belinda Jeffery, author of A Year of Sundays"The kitchen table is the beating heart of any home and Sophie Hansen brings us into hers with her new book 'around the kitchen table'. Sophie's natural warmth, excellent and comforting recipes and prowess for simple crafts combine on these pages to bring us something so delightful and joyful that I honestly can't wait to bring these ideas to life on my own kitchen table. This book is not just about food and crafts, it's about bringing some lightness and joy into our lives." Danielle Alvarez, author of Always Add LemonThis is more than a recipe book, it's a window into another world. A book that is a joy to read. Recipes that are a joy to make. Sophie welcomes us into her world with family recipes, photo albums and an appreciation of seasonal and local produce - Edwina Bartholomew, journalist and TV presenter
