Combining reminiscences from a lifetime spent working with and enjoying food, along with cultivation tips for the growing season and a brief history of each garden fruit, TENDER VOLUME II shows you how to use seasonal fruits in simple suppers and indulgent desserts.

Organised alphabetically, each fruit is carefully considered in Slater′s inimitable, unhurried warm prose, to give you an instinctive understanding of our heritage garden fruits.

From a weekday supper of pork chops with cider and apples to a Chinese Sunday roast with spiced plum sauce and old family favourites of a deeply appley apple crumble to traditional fruit ices, Slater shows how the delicious flavours of fruits are the hidden gems in imaginative meat dishes, the backbone of successful home baking, and inspiration for the occasional odd pot of jam.
