From the Publisher

Four seasons, over 200 recipes for all possible occasions

Home Cookery Year

'Home Cookery Year brings together themes that I have previously championed, feeding small children, keeping a well- stocked pantry, and how to encourage a new and basic agenda to energize your cooking at home. I am keen on the domesticity the title of this book conjures up. It’s not a fashionable title – much more an honest one – and I love it for this. I want to give you a down-to-earth and intuitive framework of how and what to cook all year round. At its heart is an exhortation to shop and cook in tandem with the seasons, which will inevitably give the cook (and keen mealtime recipients) a sense of anticipation and excitement.' Claire Thomson

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I was born in Zimbabwe and spent my early childhood there before moving to London aged 8, from the city to Shropshire, in deepest countryside, until leaving home with a backpack and books (in a time before kindles). I have cooked in many places around the world and think cooking good food with interesting people from wherever in the world is where I am happiest. Also too, my own kitchen table with the children home from school, cup of tea, glass of wine and so on. Professional chef, food writer, author and mother of 3, I am almost always in an apron and am never without something to cook, someone to feed. Have knives and will travel!

    This is a beautiful book- I love the way it’s divided into seasons and within the sections there are different recipes for midweek and weekend. I have made two delicious recipes in just two days of having it and know I will make many more, best cook book I have read in a long time - highly recommend

    I don't think all recipes are tested.

    Under the Winter section, the basic baked chicken with prunes and veg had potatoes that were underdone.

    The tricky thing with baking both chicken and veg at the same time is that you have to get them all to cook at the same time. Some tricks would be to cut everything evenly or place the harder to cook items on the outside of the baking tray.

    I thought the author was brilliant at first because her recipe has you cut the veg in difference sizes. Brilliant, I thought. Just because she could manage to cook it evenly too based on her skill and technique as a pro chef.

    But - actually - some veg came out underdone and others were overdone. The recipes weren't tested, researched, or well though out.

    The chicken, without browning, looked like boiled meat. The prunes did nothing for the flavor and seemed like an attempt to make this recipe unique.

    Ultimately, the food didn't taste good, which was the biggest flaw.

    French Chicken in a pot has more flavor than this.

    I had plans to cook other things in this book but it's too risky in terms of time, effort etc. to follow her instructions and come out with a bad meal. She should spend less time writing and more time cooking and testing.

    I'm writing after I ate that baked chicken and prunes recipe and it's something I regret eating and felt like a wasted a very good chicken (it was a heritage breed Rock chicken that I paid a premium for).

    I'm cooking from books at Milk Street now just because the recipes are tested and it should taste good.

    I love Claire Thomson's videos on Instagram, which gave me a sense of how down to earth and doable her food is. And this is a gorgeous cookbook, full of everything from chill midweek dinners to elaborate feasts (and arranged so they're easy to find)— a little bit of everything, but never overdone or overcomplicated. I've already cooked from it quite a bit and have about half the book marked for dinners to come.

    I love this book; it's got some fab recipes and is easy to use. I really like the seasonal layout of the book because I grow a lot of my own vegetables.

    3.0 out of 5 stars So few pictures.
    Reviewed in Germany on December 18, 2020
    I saw this book reviewed on tv and it looked great but I’m really disappointed. I like cook books with pictures, and sadly this book has a very low picture to recipe ratio. Admittedly not every recipe needs a picture but I like to know what I’m aiming for!!
    There is a recipe for marmalade that has a picture of a jar of marmalade which I think if there is a limit on photos choose recipes that would benefit from one- everyone knows what a jar of marmalade looks like.
    Because of this I’ve not tried anything yet so I can’t comment on that. I will once I get over being annoyed!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Broad variety of satisfying dishes
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 9, 2021
    I bought this cookbook having stumbled across Claire’s Instagram account at the start of lockdown last year. Impressed by the range of dishes she was creating in short time frames for her ‘cooking with kids’ videos I eagerly put this book on my Christmas list. Unfortunately it sold so fast I had to wait until the second print in January before I was finally able to get my hands on a copy but it was definitely worth the wait. So far I have cooked over 20 recipes ranging from Sri Lankan to Belgian to African in origin and all have been delicious! The recipes are easy to follow and I like how the book is split into seasons so you can make better use of what is more readily available. The subsections within each season give you an idea of which are sensible recipes to try out on a work night vs those which are worth taking some more time over at the weekend. Overall, this book has made me more adventurous in my cooking, willing to try out flavour combinations and cuisines which I would ordinarily have overlooked or disregarded. I look forward to trying out the seasonal feasts when friends and family are able to visit later in the year and I will be recommending this book to anyone who wants to broaden their cooking repertoire.
