James Rich, a cook and writer, delves into the diverse culinary landscape of the English countryside, exploring the abundance of food found in ancient orchards, hedgerows, veg patches, and kitchen gardens. He celebrates the wide range of fruits, including pears, plums, cherries, strawberries, gooseberries, elderflower, blackberries, quinces, medlars, and apples, and offers more than 60 delightful recipes that are inspired by the most famous and delicious home-grown produce from England's ancient gardens. From Slow-Roasted Pulled Harissa Lamb with Apricot & Chilli Jam to Chicken and Cherry Tray Bake for a special occasion feast, to a simple Apple, Plum, and Walnut Cobbler or Chocolate Cobnut Tart for a warming autumnal pudding, James draws inspiration from seasonal produce that will gently encourage you to explore and cook from your own kitchen gardens. With a focus on core fruits, vegetables, and nuts that are grown in orchards and among hedgerows, as well as a note on foraging and the kitchen pantry, Orchard is a treasure trove of edible gems that you will return to cook from, time and time again.
