Mark Diacono | A Year At Otter Farm
A Year at Otter Farm by Mark Diacono is a beautifully photographed combination of cookbook, gardening guide and personal account of life on an adventurous British smallholding. At Otter Farm in Devon, Diacono grows an extraordinary mixture of familiar, unusual and exotic produce, from asparagus, artichokes and borlotti beans to quince, Chilean guava and distinctive herbs. Following the rhythms of the seasons, he shares both the pleasures and challenges of growing exceptional ingredients and transforming them into delicious food.
Colourful recipes include warm Padrón pepper, cherry and halloumi salad, curried squash and mussel soup, cucumber ice cream and quince doughnuts, accompanied by practical advice for cultivating unusual and forgotten varieties at home. Diacono's luminous photography captures the richness of life both in the kitchen and outdoors. Winner of the André Simon Food Book of the Year Award 2014, this distinctive volume is an inspiring celebration of seasonal eating, adventurous growing and the remarkable flavours that can emerge from British soil.
