Cook. Taste. Spring. Smile.

With stunning high-resolution photography and beautiful colour, this book takes full advantage of the iPad’s fabulous display and multi-touch interface. Designed exclusively for the iPad from the outset, it is natural and intuitive to use. Portrait and landscape modes have distinctive purposes and styles: portrait allows you to view an entire recipe on one page, while landscape provides clear step-by-step instructions that allow viewing from anywhere in the kitchen.

The book consists of 30 recipes that both look and taste stunning, and are straightforward to produce. Included are three Spring-inspired set menus, each with a wine recommendation, as well as suggestions for making the recipes cheaper and healthier. In addition, there are a number of other sections, offering a variety of contemporary yet classic dishes, and providing the reader with recommendations for ten carefully tried and tested kitchen utensils and links to buy each of them.

From sauces and salsas to indulgent chocolaty desserts and from classic spring lamb with pan fried asparagus to imaginative chilled fruit soups and granitas, there is a recipe to suit every Spring occasion.
