Following on from the success of his first cookbook, chef Mark Moriarty has come up with another practical guide to elevated home cooking, that perfectly represents his ethos and approach to food.
The Irish chef, documentary maker, author, and now podcaster explained that his new book, Season, is more of a reference point for home cooks, to allow them to appreciate the abundance of nature by leaning into seasonality when cooking at home.
“The main idea for the book is as a follow on for Flavour which did really well,” he says. “It was a practical handbook of recipes that people could make again and again at home. So, I didn’t want to go away from that, but I wanted to bring a little bit more of restaurant cooking to it.
“We don’t shove it down people’s throats saying they have to only eat or buy certain ingredients, but it gives the feel of seasonality that we follow in restaurants—lightness in spring, richness and indulgence in autumn, etc.”
