Lately I am captivated by the thought of living life slowly, with simplicity and intention. So when this book arrived at the shop yesterday, I couldn't resist!
Skye Gyngell writes so beautifully about cooking with the seasons, her words and recipes are an inspiration. And it's the little details that I love about this book... it's perfect size, the matte finish of the pages, the three ribbon page markers (yes three!), the extraordinary photos and the fact that it looks so wonderful on our dining table with my Shannon Garson bowls...
A year in my kitchen by Skye Gyngell and photography by Jason Lowe is published by Quadrille (isbn184400337x)

I checked the link and those bowls are so pretty. Love the colour.
I lile my life to be slow too. I think our life is much slower than most people though. Trying to make lots more things by ourselves include making clothes and vegetables. It takes time but it is worth and the whole process is a wonderful experience. I hope you enjoy the book and good that you woule make from it. Happy weekend!
that sounds so lovely.
i fear i'll never slow down - maybe i'm not meant to... but it's nice to think of it!!
Hey there!
Nice to see you back and blogging :)
Beautiful book!
I love the look/sound of that book. Made me sigh just looking at the cover.
That book looks really lovely. I'd love to live life a bit slower too although I'm not sure it's going to be possible while living in London. Maybe one day.
Isnt it a great book - we recently visited Petersham and had a wonder time, you can see some phots here:

Enjoy you reading and the food!
I've been lusting after this book. Did you know that Skye Gyngnell writes a regular column in "Delicious" magazine?
Thanks for the lovely mention!
If you like her book, you should have a look at Tessa Kiros' books, too. Beautiful photography and stories, delicious recipe...
This is like the book I would love to write one day :-)
