When her sons inherited their father's childhood home in a Cornish fishing village, once a commercial building for storing and paking pilchards, Lindsey Bareham thought it would be a nice idea to record some of the recipes and memories of this extraordinary place. It started as a notebook for her sons' eyes only, with lists of favourite ways of cooking mackerel, monkfish and sole and how to make amyonnaise to go with the gift of a handsome crab or crayfish, but then it took on its own momentum and became this very special book, full of recollections and anecdotes and fabulous holiday food.
Although the setting is of course English, Bareham's recipes take in influences from all over the world, including Portugal, Italy and Turkey. Nor, despite the location, are her recipes completely devited to matters piscine. Chapters on eggs, chicken, lamb, vegetables and, of course, puddings, sit alongside a wonderful collection of recipes for fish of all kinds.
