The star of television's Our Yorkshire Farm, (titled My Big Family Farm on CBC Gem) gives readers an intimate view of life on the farm for herself, husband Clive, and their nine children. Now in paperback with new material covering another twelve months on the farm with the Yorkshire Shepherdess. In Celebrating the Seasons, Amanda Owen shares funny and charming stories about life with her family and their many four-legged charges as she describes their activities at Ravenseat - from lambing and shearing in spring to haymaking in summer and feeding the flock in midwinter. She vividly evokes the famous Swaledale landscape, from the sweeping moors to rare wildflowers and elusive hares glimpsed in the field. Amanda lives in tune with nature, and her attitude to food is the same. She believes in using fresh seasonal ingredients when it comes to feeding her family, and includes some of her favourite recipes here, including Wild Garlic Lamb with Hasselback Potatoes, Rhubarb and Custard Crumble Cake, Yorkshire Curd Tart, and more. This book also includes Amanda's latest Dalesman columns, published in book form for the first time and giving new insights into her life. As inspirational as Amanda herself, Celebrating the Seasons with the Yorkshire Shepherdess will delight everyone who has followed her adventures so far.
