September on The Kitchen Bookshelf

Embracing the new season with seasonal cookbooks

I have always loved September. The new-term, newly-sharpened-pencils vibe of school days (yes…I was indeed the slightly swotty girl who looked forward to packing her pencil case…) has carried through into joy at the transition of summer into autumn cooking.

Those echoes lie behind why I wanted to write Seasoning, and given September marks 6-months since its publication I think that all comes together rather gorgeously to make our theme for September at The Kitchen Bookshelf cookbook club:

Seasonal cookbooks: the cookbooks that guide us through the culinary year

Around that central theme will be two avenues of discussion - each with a paid subscriber virtual meet-up:

• Sharing ideas and recommendations about favourite seasonal cookbooks. Over the coming weeks I’ll be sharing on here some of mine (the images above will give you some clues) and really can’t wait to discover more through yours.

  • Virtual meet-up: Sunday 29th September, 8.30am BST

And this month’s single cookbook club pick:

• The Farm Table by Julius Roberts - the London-chef turned Dorset-farmer has become the face of modern farming. His debut book was a bestseller when it came out in September last year and is a gentle yet thought-provoking, evocative and delicious guide through Julius’ year on the farm and the food he enjoys there.

  • Virtual meet-up: Friday September 13th (lucky for us!), 6.30pm BST

Please come along and join in the discussion - send me a message to register a place for either meet-up:

(I have shied away from choosing Seasoning as the theme’s cookbook club pick…. but: I am looking forward to celebrating its half-year anniversary with you here in other ways as September rolls along. There will be gifts and giveaways and more.)
