A Review of Tamasin Day-Lewis’ Simply the Best: The Art of Seasonal Cooking

The book is divided into sections based on the seasons, with brief essays at the start of each, which contain bits of reminiscence on Day-Lewis’ childhood, her experiences with foods, her feelings about and philosophy. Between each season are the columns, each addressing a different food, or local producer, followed by recipes either inspired by her experiences or by the artisan she writes about.
