She takes the best of each season and brings it all together in such a joyful and exciting way that I want to dive into everything she cooks.” – Kathy Slack, author of From the Veg Patch and Rough Patch––––––––––Celebrate the seasons with flavourful, nourishing, French-inspired saladsAt a time when we all know we need to eat more plants, what better way to incorporate a wide variety of wholefoods into your diet than with a thoughtfully composed salad?Growing up just outside Paris with a French father and English mother, Alexandra Stacey became accustomed to a classically French tradition of eating beautifully dressed, seasonal salads on an almost daily basis all year round, and in her first book Salads for all Seasons she encourages you to do the same.Divided into seasonal chapters and making the very most of the ingredients on offer, Alex demonstrates how through creating the right balance between texture, acidity, and flavour you can build vibrant bowls of goodness using a wide variety of fibre, protein, herbs, vegetables, vinaigrettes, and toppings.From the Perfect Salade Verte to a Fig, Walnut, and Brie Salad and a Classic Celeriac Remoulade with Smoked Salmon, Chives, and Capers, Salads for all Seasons bursts with timeless inspiration for all year round.

Getting the most from a veg patch is what all gardeners want. With a little forethought and planning, an approach that places different crops together, and in closer proximity than you might imagine, means you can grow more plants in the same area while creating healthy and beneficial plant communities.No Dig guru Charles Dowding uses 40 years of growing experience to recommend which crops to grow successfully together, how to time it right, and how to harvest in particular ways, to grow the tastiest, pest-free crops as space-efficiently as possible. Carrots between lettuces, fennel between spinach, garlic interplanted with coriander, broad beans around asparagus, cucumbers between peas and strawberries: 50 different proven combinations are shared to help you get the most from growing crops in tune with the seasons, the soil community, and wider environment.Grow Together is about more than simply planting two different crops side-by-side: there's succession planting, catch-cropping, cover-cropping, companion planting, planting to aid pollination, and multisowing. Charles explains them all and provides invaluable advice on how to succeed in each technique, with the correct timings and spacings, as well as the best varieties to grow.
