PICKED BY DIANA HENRY AS ONE OF THE TELEGRAPH'S COOKBOOKS OF THE
YEAR 2019. 'The legendary chef opens the door to a living library
of lost varieties of heritage English fruit in a treasury of recipe
and reflection.' Waterstones Weekly 'Blanc set about the most
thorough apple-tasting and cooking project I have heard of . . .
[The Lost Orchard] condenses the highlights, his love letters to
the forgotten apple breeds.' The Times 'I began to dream about an
orchard filled with thousands of fruit trees... Today we have an
orchard with over 150 ancient varieties of apple. Each one has its
heritage in a village or a county that used to thrive on that
particular variety. They tell the story not only of what we have
lost in Britain but also what we could regain.' Over the past seven
years, Raymond Blanc has planted an orchard of 2,500 trees in the
grounds of his hotel-restaurant in Oxfordshire. Yielding about 30
tonnes of fruit for his kitchen each year, it is full of ancient
and forgotten varieties of British apples and pears, along with
walnut trees, quince, medlars, apricots, nectarines, peaches,
plums, damsons and cherries. A further 600 heritage fruit trees
have been added from Raymond's home region of Franche-Comte in
France. The Lost Orchard is a love letter to each of these
varieties, complete with beautiful black and white drawings,
photographs of Belmond Le Manoir and fascinating information and
anecdotes about each fruit, along with recipes and stories.
