128 pages, indexed and with gorgeous illustrations of the fruit and vegetable described. The jacket suffers from light chipping at the head of the spine, else the book is as new. Title on the cover 'Cooking with Exotic Fruits and Vegetables' "Jane Grigson (1928-1990) is one of twentieth-century Britain's finest writers on recipes and food and the author of a clutch of celebrated cookbooks, including English Food (1974) and Jane Grigson's Vegetable Book (1978) which remain among the best of their kind today. described by her contemporary and friend Elizabeth David as "always entertaining as well as informative... a writer who could combine a delightful quote from Chaucer on the subject of a pike galantine with a careful recipe for a modern chicken and pork version of the same ancient dish, and who could do so without pedantry or a hint of preciousness" her successor on the Observer food pages, Nigel Slater, has written "I will never be a match for her ... I'm not sure anyone could be". Jane Grigson Trust
