Simply Baking Sybil Kapoor 9781907892325 | £25 | September | HB 200 colour photographs | 320 pages | 246 x 189 mm

• An exciting new National Trust baking book with beautiful, atmospheric photography • An inspiring collection of simple, modern recipes using seasonal ingredients from our kitchen gardens, larders, hedgerows and orchards • Sybil Kapoor is one of Britain's foremost cookery writers Baking is one of life's great pleasures and in this beautiful new National Trust cookery book Sybil Kapoor brings together an inspiring collection of baking recipes, both sweet and savoury. She delves into our kitchen gardens, larders, hedgerows and orchards to illustrate different aspects of modern British baking. She shows how key ingredients such as produce from the orchard, grain from the mill or butter from the dairy have shaped British baking and led to a delicious and deservedly famous repertoire of cakes, pastries, savoury bakes and bread.

Seville orange crunch cake and blackcurrant meringue pie are just a few of the simple cakes and tarts that can be prepared with fresh dairy ingredients, while pastry and breads from the mill provide a wholesome basis for homemade peach slices and olive and onion scones.

Harvest sumptuous apricots, cherries, pears and plums from the orchard for apricot creams and chocolate pear cake, or use the natural abundance of wild herbs, mushrooms and nuts of the hedgerow to produce delicious almond blackberry cake or soft hazelnut macaroons.

Sybil's interests in nature and the use of seasonal and local produce reflect the National Trust's current food policy, and combine to make this a unique and exciting baking book for our times.

The Art of Dining Sara Paston-Williams 9781907892356 | £35.00 | June | HB 300 colour illustrations | 348 pages | 245 x 245 mm

– Taste Behind the curious ingredients and mysterious language of old cookery books lies a completely different world, where the foods that we take for granted were often not available, their preparation, cooking and preservation were laborious and skilful tasks, and the art of dining reflected social attitudes quite removed from modern practice.

The Art of Dining includes historical recipes together with their modern adaptations and covers Medieval, Early Tudor, Elizabethan, Stuart, Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian periods.

Sara Paston-Williams has used the great wealth of National Trust houses and records to produce this fascinating guide to all the arts of dining.

The Manor Reborn

Britain’s countryside is liberally sprinkled with follies – eccentric, original buildings built for fun by landowners and aristocrats over the centuries. They include prospect towers, ornamental temples, rustic hermits’ cottages, faux prehistoric stone circles, and some buildings that don’t seem to have had any purpose at all!
