a good year - Lois Daish

This charming cookbook by long-time, and much-loved NZ Listener food writer Lois Daish ,was published back in 2005 by Random House in association with the NZ Listener.Somehow it slipped me by at the time and as it has long been out of print I have been keeping my eye open for a copy.
Following comment about this on the specialist cookbook store Cook the Books website last week a kindly librarian contacted me to say she had a copy that was being withdrawn from circulation, because it wasn't in good enough shape for further library borrowing, and that I could have it if I wished. I was down to her library within the hour, made a $20 donation, and headed off home happily clutching my newly acquired copy.
Lois Daish was always a strong advocate for seasonal cooking, one of the first to cross my radar, so this book is set out in calendar sequence. I went to February and there was a recipe for oven-glazed apricots which I can warmly recommend if you own a copy of the book.
I couldn't find the recipe on-line but there are a host of others by Lois at this Radio NZ website.
