ALEXANDRA SHULMAN'These are the recipes I cook at home, dishes that I turn to throughout the year because they answer a craving for a particular thing to eat at a particular time.

The recipes evolved from ideas for what to cook and what I chose to include in the food pages of House & Garden each month: a reflection of our appetites, the food growing then, the weather, how we are living and eating each season.'BLANCHE VAUGHANA Year in the Kitchen, written and curated by Blanche Vaughan, Food Editor of House & Garden, shares more than 150 deliciously easy recipes inspired by the seasons.
