She believes in using fresh seasonal ingredients when it comes to feeding her family, and includes some of her favourite recipes here, including Wild Garlic Lamb with Hasselback Potatoes, Rhubarb and Custard Crumble Cake, Yorkshire Curd Tart, and more.This book also includes Amanda's latest Dalesman columns, published in book form for the first time and giving new insights into her life. As inspirational as Amanda herself, Celebrating the Seasons with the Yorkshire Shepherdess will delight everyone who has followed her adventures so far.
