 New large hardcover book, 466 pages, published 2010. Features superb colour photography by Rodney Weidland.

Let The Country Cookbook transport you to a simpler place and time: a place where neighbours leave boxes of surplus vegetables on the doorstep, winter provides an excuse to make a pie with the windfall apples, and there's time for a cup of tea and a slice of homemade cake.

Inspired by the bountiful produce at her local farmers' markets, Belinda Jeffery chronicles the changing seasons and shares the recipes that punctuate her days. Whether you want to make a platter of fragrant Thai prawn cakes to go with drinks, some comforting slow-cooked lamb shanks with harissa or a last-minute Christmas cake, The Country Cookbook will bring a taste of the country into your kitchen - and into your life.
