Have fun making a variety of dishes for family and friends year-round. Happy times occur around the table with delicious food, lovely flowers, and good company. This book is my love story of the foods we eat, flowers we admire, and tables we set, all according to the rhythm of the seasons. A collection of 80 recipes, featuring Italian foods, and many more dishes from around the world. Spring: salmon with fava beans, dandelion veggie pizza, Persian rice cake, strawberry crepes. Summer: baked eggplants, Cypriot stuffed peppers, Jamaican beef patties, tomato sauce. Fall: pumpkin risotto, Ukrainian borscht soup, cornmeal muffins, apple pie. Winter: cabbage rolls, French onion soup, Indian shrimp-potato curry, tiramisu. Also featuring over a dozen favourite flowers, each depicted in a sweet rhyming poem.
