This is a celebration of fruit, and all the glorious variety it can bring to our plates. From crisp apples to buttery pears, sticky peaches to plump berries, and zingy lemons to tart cherries. The book begins with an introduction to the key techniques for cooking with fruit. Over 80 recipes follow, ranging from Lemon and Blackberry Polenta Muffins, Marmalade and Almond Cake and Apricot Muscat Tart, to Pear and Farro Salad, Duck Confit with Plum Chutney and Salmon with Pickled Rhubarb Salsa, plus plenty of jams, compotes and ice creams. Interspersed between the recipes are flavour charts and pairing suggestions for every fruit, plus 5 interviews with fruit growers and farmers around the world. Trained by Alice Waters at Chez Panisse, San Francisco, and now Head of Pastry Development at Spring in London and Heckfield Place in Hampshire, Sarah Johnson's recipes are modern, fresh and full of flavour . Her close relationship with the farmers and producers that supply the restaurants has given her a wealth of knowledge on the best fruits to buy and cook, and all the best tips and tricks to get the most from your produce.

Moving, honest and inspiring - this is a nurse's true story of life in a busy A&E department during the Covid-19 crisis. Working in A&E is a challenging job but nurse Louise Curtis loves it. She was newly qualified as an advanced clinical practitioner, responsible for life or death decisions about the patients she saw, when the unthinkable happened and the country was hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. The stress on the NHS was huge and for the first time in her life, the job was going to take a toll on Louise herself. In A Nurse's Story she describes what happened next, as the trickle of Covid patients became a flood. And just as tragically, staff in A&E were faced with the effects of lockdown on society. They worried about their regulars, now missing, and saw an increase in domestic abuse victims and suicide attempts as loneliness hit people hard. By turns heartbreaking and heartwarming, this book shines a light on the compassion and dedication of hospital staff during such dark times. 'An important memoir that we all need to read right now.' - Closer
