The 17th River Cottage Handbook is out today

View this email in your browser The 17th River Cottage Handbook, Outdoor Cooking by Gill Meller is released today.    In Outdoor Cooking, Gill explains every aspect of cooking out in the open. He will take you back to basics with a guide to building the perfect fire, and reinvigorate your summer barbecue by cooking bread on it, grilling Indian-style kebabs, smoking fish or roasting succulent joints of meat. You can also find out how to make the most of a pizza oven or Kamado-style clay barbecue and, if you're feeling adventurous, there are comprehensive instructions for spit roasting larger pieces of meat or making a smouldering earth oven. 'I'm delighted to announce the publication of my new book Outdoor Cooking - River Cottage Handbook No. 17. Cooking something good to eat over an open fire is, for me, one of the simplest, best and most natural ways to enjoy food. The process is timeless and whenever I get the chance to do it, I revel in the quiet joy it brings me.' Gill Meller 'The dishes you will find here are original, sometimes surprising but often beautifully simple. As with all Gill's food they are rooted in time and place, seasonality and the moment, designed to bring the very best out of good ingredients, never to disguise or complicate them.' Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall With an introduction from Hugh and plenty of mouth-watering photographs, this book will rekindle your passion for the great outdoors and spark new ideas for creative cooking in the wild.   BUY NOW RECIPE: Grilled beetroot with labneh and dill Cooking whole beetroot over a hot fire crisps and darkens the skins while sweetening and softening the flesh. I find it works best with new season beetroot, just give them a quick scrub and chuck them on the grill, leaves and all. They only take 30–40 minutes to cook. Served with herbs, lemon and labneh, they are delectable.
