Roast Figs, Sugar Snow is an irresistible collection of cold-weather recipes that celebrate the unique pleasures of autumn and winter.

This classic cookbook has been revisited, revised and refreshed nearly 20 years after its first publication, with a new foreword by Nigel Slater and seven new recipes. Full of comforting delights from cold-weather climes – from the ski slopes of Italy, to the coffee houses of Vienna and Budapest, the rural reaches of New England and beyond – these recipes will bring warmth to your heart as well as your home.

Recipes featured in the book include Austrian Pasta with Bacon and Smoked Cheese; Salad of Smoked Duck with Farro, Red Chicory and Pomegranates; Melting Leg of Lamb with Juniper; Snow Biscuits; and Roast Figs and Plums in Vodka with Cardamom Cream.

Diana will be chatting to journalist, author and bookshop favourite Felicity Cloake.
