An effervescent take on the country kitchen format, Lotte’s Country Kitchen oozes tied-with-a-pink-bow charm and wonder. This is honest, fun, home-cooked food, sprinkled all over with edible silvery glitter – fabulous recipes that link together via sweet and saucy anecdote and the occasional gin and tonic. Beautiful food photography from Lara Holmes, all shot around Lotte’s home and garden, finish this beautiful edition of seasonal recipes.

Lotte Duncan has presented and starred in numerous TV programmes, including Countryfile, Cooking the Books and Dial A Mum, and was for many years the face of UKTV Food’s Great Food Live. She is a professional cook and Aga demonstrator. Her beautiful cottage and garden in Buckinghamshire – where her book was photographed – have featured in many interiors and gardening periodicals.
