The Seasonal Kitchen

Publisher: Artichoke Publishers

The Seasonal Kitchen presents an inspiring culinary journey, where home cooking—for weekday-friendly and for entertaining—is enlivened by fresh, unique, and bold flavors. Author Kerry Dunnington’s inspired and boundary-stretching ideas extend to her many styles of cooking -- from comfort food classics to season-to-season cooking and innovative recipes that include locally and globally sourced foods. From morning meals to the grand finale, from sweet to savory, The Seasonal Kitchen is an expertly crafted collection of 165 inspired and people-pleasing recipes, including many vegetarian-focused options.

Every page is an invitation into your kitchen. The clearly-presented and easy-to-follow recipes are as delicious and appealing as they are friendly to prepare. The Seasonal Kitchen is the third in the series of award-winning cookbooks about seasonal eating. This volume offers an eclectic mix of recipes that range from healthy to indulgent to decadent. Many of the recipes reflect the author’s willingness to create the unexpected. It’s all about abundance and the bold contrasts of flavors where there is also a hint of the familiar. Creativity comes naturally, which is why Kerry likes to experiment with new flavors and zesty combinations.
