Food that looks good must be good for you

Yes, it’s winter and our thoughts have turned to warm kitchens and cosy dinners by the fire. Grace keeps finding great combinations of food and art to satisfy her twin passions and what’s a girl to do but share the love?

Her latest find is the Great Food series from Penguin – the best food writing from the past 400 years (mutton anyone?) with an exquisite set of book covers by renowned cover designer Coralie Bickford-Smith.

You can get an overview of the series here, and a closer look at CB-Smith’s stunning work on her website. She’s a fave of ours and you’ll see why.

Now, the menu for tonight is:

Asparagus Pudding

Mutton Kidneys, Musketeers' style (merci M. Dumas)

Shrewsbury Cakes and Ginger Cream

Buono appetito!
